Three same-sex couples were denied marriage licenses at the Hennepin County Courthouse on Friday, laying the groundwork for a lawsuit to repeal Minnesota’s Defense of Marriage Act. DOMA, passed in 1997, prohibits same-sex couples from marrying and defines marriage as between two members of the opposite sex.
