Fallout Expands Over Michigan Gay Marriage Ban

[justin899]

(Kalamazoo, Michigan) The war over how broad Michigan's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage extends shows no sign of abating with the city of Kalamazoo the latest to say it will end domestic partner benefits at the end of the year unless a court rules they are legal.

Last month, Michigan's Republican Attorney General, Mike Cox, said local governments and government entities cannot provide benefits for same-sex partners in future contracts because of the amendment which was passed by voters last November.

Cox said his opinion is binding although he conceded that the issue ultimately will be decided by the courts.
