Whitmer on Republican lawmaker’s same-sex marriage resolution: ‘Hell no’

A state representative introduced a resolution urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 same-sex marriage ruling, but it only had six co-sponsors.
The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Government Operations, where it is expected to be shelved in committee.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer stated that everyone in Michigan has the freedom to marry whom they love, asserting it is nonnegotiable.
Critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union Michigan, called the resolution a cruel, symbolic gesture.
