Minnesotans United for All Families was a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporation formed jointly by Project 515 and OutFront Minnesota to defeat legislation, constitutional amendments, and propositions that would exclude some families from the institution of marriage, and in particular to defeat a ballot question put before the voters in November 2012 that would have amended the Minnesota constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The ballot question was defeated, and subsequent legislation legalized same-sex marriage in Minnesota in 2013.
