LGBTQ+ Couple Remarries in Minnesota After Fleeing Russia

Erik and Ivan Beda, a couple who first united in marriage back in 2006, have remarried in Minnesota after a poignant journey of separation and reunion. The couple originally divorced due to the pressures and legal constraints after Erik came out as a transgender man, as Russian laws prohibit marriage between two men.
