KSTP reports each year, President Barack Obama reserves tickets to the White House Easter celebration for two-mom and two-dad families.
Dads Paul and James have been teaching their 4-year-olds, Emmet and Gabriel, the importance of the visit.

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments that could ultimately chart the future of gay marriage in this country.

In Minnesota, a bill that would legalize gay marriage is making its way through the Legislature.
