About a dozen couples gathered at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Church in St. Cloud to celebrate their commitment to one another. The event is the second of its kind in St. Cloud and was organized by PFLAG. This quote in the St. Cloud Times sums up the event:

“Heterosexual couples celebrate their anniversaries. They have big parties and stuff, but who ever does it for the gay couples?” said Myrna Ohmann whose son has been identifying himself as gay for more than a decade. “Somebody needs to publicly stand up and say, ‘Look, this needs to be honored. This needs to be celebrated.’ So we’re hoping to do this every year.”
