The resolution, introduced by several representatives, condemns the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage across the United States. 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 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 the historical definition of marriage has been consistently recognized across various cultures and faiths as a union between a man and a woman. It criticizes the Obergefell decision for relying on a flawed interpretation of the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Constitution, arguing that it represents an overreach of judicial power without explicit constitutional support for 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.
