Gay marriage 'Truth Truck' sent to impound lot

Battle-scarred from skirmishes at the State Fair and the AFL-CIO Labor Day Rally, the "Truth Truck" of a gay-marriage opposition group was resting Tuesday in the St. Paul police impound lot, one place where it might not cause a public commotion.

In less than two weeks of operation, the billboard truck -- with its 8-foot tall images of two men kissing and the message "Want Gay Marriage? Vote Democrat this November" -- has been in the middle of two arrests and at least one general fracas.

But the only person arrested was the truck's volunteer driver, Edmund Kuznia, 47, of New Hope, who allegedly refused a police order to leave, then pinned an officer's hand in the truck window, causing a possible chipped bone. Kuznia was being held Tuesday in the Ramsey County jail. He was awaiting arraignment today on a gross misdemeanor charge of assaulting a peace officer... He said that Minnesota Citizens in Defense of Marriage, the truck's sponsor, can get it back by providing proof of ownership and insurance and paying an impoundment fee.

But Monday's ruckus wasn't the first case of the truck inflaming emotions. It made its debut on Aug. 26 at an appearance by Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in Anoka. There, supporters of Democrats and of gay marriage actually gave the truck the thumbs-up, Davis said.
