HISTORICAL NOTE
Project 515 was
formed in 2006 to work to achieve equal rights for same-sex couples under the law,
focusing its efforts on public education and advocacy at the Minnesota Legislature.
Its original goal was to change some 515 Minnesota statutes that it identified as
being discriminatory toward same-sex couples. It was preceded by an organization
known as Equality Minnesota.
Equality Minnesota, incorporated August 22, 2005, was a campaign-based organization whose purpose was to improve the quality of life for same-sex couples and to reduce discrimination and oppression against them through communication and education efforts.
In 2011 the state legislature passed Senate File 1308, which brought Amendment 1 to the Minnesota constitution, which would have codified marriage in the state as being only between one man and one woman, to the ballot in 2012. Project 515 joined with OutFront Minnesota, another organization advocating for LGBTQ people, to form Minnesotans United for All Families to work via a large grassroots campaign for its defeat. The proposed amendment came before the voters on November 6, 2012, and was defeated by a narrow margin.
Governor Mark Dayton signed the freedom to marry bill (HF 1054) legalizing same-sex marriage in the state into law in May 2013. Project 515 disbanded in 2014.
