    I will say that this is clearly a state level fight, under our federal system (or what remains of it), so good to see Michigan having the conversation.

But as long as the Federal government gives benefits to heterosexual couples, the question remains a Federal one. IMO if you benefit from tax advantages from being married, it's only right to support same-sex couples to have the same. Otherwise, you could take a stand and refuse them for yourself while fighting to do away with them. ;)

At any rate the SCOTUS will change the landscape soon, for better or for worse.
