In 2004, voters in Michigan voted overwhelmingly (58% -42%) to ban same sex marriage and civil unions.
Today, a federal judge ruled Michigan's same sex marriage ban unconstitutional, making Michigan the 18th state to legalize gay marriage (almost halfway there).
Not content with wasting $7 million dollars a day because they delayed implementation of Obamacare to score political points, republicans, through AG Bill Schuette, will appeal the ruling so they can waste even more of Michiganders' hard earned money to earn even more political points with the fringe of their party. This despite the fact that polls now show a solid majority of Michiganders (56%) favor gay marriage.
I note this because I was one of the 42% ten years ago who voted against the ban to same sex marriage. I'm not looking for a pat on the back--I just want to remind people that societal change takes time, and that eventually, the right thing to do will win out.
It happened today in Michigan.
Peace,
