Fargo lawmaker urges LGBTQ+ North Dakotans to stay and fight
In North Dakota’s legislature, a debate over marriage rights is reigniting tensions that many thought were settled a decade ago. House Resolution 3013, which urges the U.S. Supreme Court to redefine marriage as between a man and a woman, passed with strong support—but for Rep. Austin Foss, the fight is personal. Less than a year after his own wedding, he stood on the House floor defending his right to exist and be happy. While the resolution carries no legal weight, Foss warns it sends a clear message. His response? Stay, fight, and be heard.
Michael McGurran has the full story on Rep. Foss’s call to action.
