Michigan Marriage Laws: What the State Constitution says…

Marriage is inherently a unique relationship between a man and a woman. As a matter of public policy, this state has a special interest in encouraging, supporting, and protecting that unique relationship in order to promote, among other goals, the stability and welfare of society and its children. A marriage contracted between individuals of the same sex is invalid in this state.

    MI is so backwards. They support the greatest discrimination -
    People have a right to marry who they love – It does not matter what the gender is.
    I have ssen some of the most loving and functional families of the same sex. Yest MI supports the Same sex marriage that beats and abuses each other because you have a man and a woman.
    MI Government needs to step up to the plate like Vermont/New Hampsire/CT/NY/Iowa/Mass/Washingtone DC/ CA.
    GEt over yur self MI- Everyone pays into this mandiated social security system and if you are a couple of the same sex you can not have the same benefits. MI….. it is right back to women can't vote and Blacks sit in the back of the bus !
