Washtenaw: Same-Sex Marriage

By

The Freep reports that state Rep. Pam Byrnes, whose district covers a large part of Washtenaw County, “is set to announce Saturday at a gay rights rally in Lansing the launch of a long-shot effort to amend the Michigan Constitution to allow same sex couples to marry. The proposed amendment would repeal the marriage amendment approved by voters in 2004 which reserved marriage exclusively for unions of one man and one woman, and replace it with specific authorization for gay and lesbian marriage rights.” [Source]
