Family Council, a Minnesota social welfare group, has opposed marriage for same-sex couples and domestic partner benefits for gay and lesbian Minnesotans since the 1990s.[^1] It has litigated through its own legal arms: it sued to end Minneapolis's domestic partner benefits in 1994 and created the Northstar Legal Center, a party to a 1998 suit over student fees for liberal causes, including gay and lesbian student groups,[^1] and its website lists True North Legal, which advocates in the courts, among its initiatives.[^2] Its only reported program sends supporters legislative updates and action alerts, analyzes legislators' voting records and publishes a voter guide for churches.[^3] It controls the MFC Action Fund, a 527 political organization,[^4] and reported $231,468 in revenue for the year ended Sept. 2024.[^5]","footnotes":[{"n":1,"citation":"Andy Birkey, *Minnesota's Homegrown Christian Right: Meet the Minnesota Family Council*, Twin Cities Daily Planet (Aug. 14, 2008),
