The Michigan legislature is currently considering measures to codify same-sex marriage rights and protections into state law. Given that the state's constitution still contains an unenforceable ban on same-sex marriage, it is crucial to enshrine these rights to ensure equality and prevent future attempts at discrimination. Enshrining marriage equality will provide certainty and security for countless families across Michigan. I urge you to support legislation that protects the freedom to marry for all consenting adults, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Upholding marriage equality is not only the ethical course of action, but it also aligns with public opinion and the Supreme Court's landmark 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges affirming these fundamental rights nationwide.
