Lawmakers in at least nine states have introduced measures to try to chip away at same-sex couples’ right to marry.
Five of the measures, including one introduced Tuesday in Michigan, urge the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which granted same-sex couples nationwide the right to marry.
State Rep. Josh Schriver, a Republican elected in November 2022, introduced the marriage resolution in Michigan, saying in a statement on social media that the Obergefell ruling “is at odds with the sanctity of marriage, the Michigan Constitution and principles upon which the country was established.”
