Leslie Kelly: 2-week trial to begin on Michigan gay marriage ban

Yet another fight for equal marriage rights began when April DeBoer and her partner of eight years, Jayne Rowse attempted to adopt each other's children, and were actually encouraged by the  judge to add the Michigan ban on marriage equality to their lawsuit. Of course, they are being met with some serious opposition but I'm hopeful that we are moving toward a more accepting society. We don't live in a world where this can be silenced anymore, and the fact of the matter is that gay couples are being singled out and oppressed by the law. We also don't live in a world where all married couples need the ability to procreate, seeing as this planet is, ahem, severely overpopulated and there are a countless number of unwanted children who need families, too. I still can't believe that this is a question--even if homosexuality goes against your beliefs for whatever forsaken reason, can't you see that this is just plain old inequality and injustice?
