Young voices helped shape this year’s historic political battle to pass same-sex marriage legislation in Minnesota by phone banking, door knocking, and perhaps most important of all, talking about their families. ThreeSixty reporter Elena Renken spoke with teens and same-sex parents about the impact of marriage equality on their past, present and future, and further examined the political and personal ramifications with the man who orchestrated the Minnesota ground game for same- sex advocates, Richard Carlbom. Yet as the celebrations continue, St. Thomas student Tyanna Dickerson reflects on her own beliefs—and how dedicating herself to religion may have changed her vote, but (hopefully) not her friendships. n Pages 16-19 Send comments to ThreeSixty Journalism CONTENTS DECEMBER/JANUARY Send your letters to ThreeSixty Life on the east side A Harding senior explores how her much-maligned neighborhood in east Journalism at 2115 Summit Ave., 20 St. Paul has shaped her background yet fuels a desire to get out. n 4 Mail 5057, St. Paul, MN. 55105, or comment online at www.
