A resolution to support the Obergefell decision and to reaffirm the definition of marriage as put forth by the founding principles including the separation of church and state.
This is a symbolic House resolution (not a law) introduced in Michigan. It formally supports the U.S. Supreme Court's *Obergefell v. Hodges* ruling, which established same-sex marriage as a constitutional right. The resolution reaffirms that marriage should be defined by constitutional principles like equality and due process, not by historical or religious definitions. It specifically references Michigan's state constitution (Article I, Section 25) as conflicting with the *Obergefell* decision. The resolution has no legal effect and does not change any existing laws or policies.
