Rick Snyder: Michigan To Recognize 300 Gay Marriages From 2014 Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) announced Wednesday that the state will recognize some 300 same-sex marriages conducted in 2014.
The governor faced a deadline Wednesday to either appeal a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Mark A. Goldsmith, or let stand the judge's injunction requiring Michigan to recognize the several hundred gay marriages conducted on March 22, 2014, when the state's ban on gay marriage was temporarily lifted. Snyder had 21 days to appeal Goldsmith's ruling.
Michigan is one of four states whose gay marriage bans were upheld by a 2-1 decision the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. The U.S. Supreme Court decided in January to take up the decision. The court's ruling, expected by June, could end the debate on gay marriage in the United States once and for all.
