Ban on gay marriage lifted in Michigan Recap

During the appeal process for DeBoer v Snyder, a stay has been issued so that no further same-sex marriages can take place in Michigan.
In addition, Governor Snyder has declared that the 300 same-sex couples that got married on March 22 before the stay was issued would not be recognized by the state.
However, the federal government will recognize same-sex couples in Michigan.
Advertising freshman Meghan Rozman of Michigan State University said that the 300 couples not being recognized by the state have been revoked of their human rights.

“I feel bad for the couples that got married and they’re no longer recognized because they were probably really excited to get married in the first place. That they’re not recognized, it kind of takes a way a part of  human right,” Rozman said.
