LANSING, Mich., Feb. 25, 2025 — State Rep. Reggie Miller (D-Van Buren Twp.) attended a press conference today in support of marriage equality in response to a House resolution that calls for the end to same-sex marriage. While the Supreme Court’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision has made same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states, Michigan still has an outdated ban in its state Constitution. State Rep. Jason Morgan (D-Ann Arbor) announced today that he has introduced a resolution to repeal this ban. Following the press conference, Miller issued the following statement:
“Every person’s right to marriage equality was affirmed by the Supreme Court nearly 10 years ago. This is not an issue state governments should concern themselves with when they can better spend their time addressing real issues that affect our communities. We need to be moving forward and working together as a Legislature to solve issues affecting Michiganders, not revisiting a nonissue that, if overturned, would create chaos and heartbreak for millions across the state. It is not up to elected officials to tell people who they can and cannot love, and I firmly stand against any attempts to overturn marriage equality.”
