(Washington, DC)  --  Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States today (Mon).  The president in his second inaugural address touched on a subject that figured prominently in Minnesota's last election saying "our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law."  A bill has been introduced at the legislature to legalize same-sex marriage in Minnesota, but analysts say it doesn't have enough support from rural Democrats to pass.
