Moss introduces resolution to put same-sex marriage on Michigan's ballot amid SCOTUS concerns
State Sen. Jeremy Moss, the first openly gay state senator in Michigan, has introduced a resolution in the Senate to put a proposal on the ballot that would remove Michigan’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
“Our constitution should reflect the values of our state, and same-sex couples should be granted the same protections as heterosexual couples,” the Bloomfield Township Democrat said in a press release from his office.
Moss’ resolution removes language in Article 1 of the state Constitution that defines the only legally recognized marriage as “the union of one man and one woman in marriage,” as well as removing gendered language from the section of the constitution that deals with estates between spouses.
The resolution comes as the U.S. Supreme Court will consider Friday whether to take up a case that seeks to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in 2015.
