#Michigan for the win!!!

Just a short time ago today a judge ruled that the state of Michigan's marriage equality ban is unconstitutional!!!



A federal ruling today in Detroit by Reagan appointed Judge Bernard Friedman crushed the 2004 ban on Marriage equality. In his ruling, Justice Friedman said:



"After reviewing the evidence presented at the trial, including the testimony of variousexpert witnesses, the exhibits, and stipulations, and after considering all of the legal issuesinvolved, the Court concludes that the MMA is unconstitutional and will enjoin its enforcement.



No where is it mentioned whether or not the Judge will implement a stay on his decision, though the governor of the state has filed for an emergency stay upon asking for an appeal of the decision.

Fingers crossed for the Wolverine state!!!
