The resolution, introduced by Representatives Schriver, Fox, Maddock, Alexander, Woolford, DeSana, and Carra, condemns the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The resolution argues that the ruling contradicts the U.S. Constitution and the foundational principles of the nation, asserting that liberty should be understood as individual freedom from government interference rather than as a government-granted entitlement. It claims that the decision undermines the inherent dignity of individuals as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and infringes upon states' rights to regulate marriage, particularly referencing Michigan's constitutional definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that marriage has historically been defined across cultures and faiths as a union between a man and a woman, and it criticizes the Supreme Court for adopting a flawed interpretation of the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses. It contends that the Obergefell decision represents an overreach of judicial power, lacking explicit constitutional support for a right to same-sex marriage. The resolution concludes by reaffirming Michigan's definition of marriage and calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to the Supreme Court.
