An Open Letter
To: Rep. Scholten
From: A verified voter in Grand Rapids, MI

Gay marriage should remain legal and equal rights should be protected for all citizens, regardless of sexual orientation. Attempting to overturn the Supreme Court's landmark 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide would be a regressive step that undermines civil liberties and discriminates against members of the LGBTQ+ community. As an elected official, it is your duty to represent and safeguard the rights of all your constituents, not target or marginalize vulnerable groups based on personal beliefs. I urge you to reconsider this harmful stance against marriage equality and instead focus your efforts on promoting inclusion, respect for diversity, and equal protection under the law for all Michiganders.
