Michigan's Same-Sex Marriage Ban Now in Judge's Hands

The Detroit Free Press reports on the close of the trial in which plaintiffs are challenging Michigan's ban on same-sex marriage. During closing arguments, the plaintiffs' attorney said, "The right to marry is a fundamental right. It should apply regardless of sexual orientation," the Free Press further reports. The defense attorney for the state of Michigan argued that the Michigan voters had decided the issue, and the case "is about science, data, what's best for children," the Free Press also reports. The plaintiffs want to marry and adopt each other's children.
