The resolution, introduced by a group of representatives, expresses support for the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which affirmed the constitutional right to same-sex marriage. It emphasizes that the ruling upholds the principles of liberty and equality as outlined in the U.S. Constitution, particularly highlighting the importance of individual rights being protected from state infringement. The resolution argues that the historical definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman is too narrow and conflicts with constitutional guarantees of equality and due process.

Furthermore, the resolution reaffirms the separation of church and state in defining marriage, asserting that the Obergefell decision aligns with the founding principles of the nation. It calls for the recognition of marriage rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, which does not explicitly prohibit the right to marry, thereby reinforcing the notion of individual liberty. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key legislative leaders and the Governor of Michigan.
