The U.S. Appeals Court for the Sixth Circuit has issued a temporary stay in the DeBoer v. Snyder marriage equality case until Wednesday.
Earlier Saturday,
the appeals court issued a one-page order directing the attorneys for
the DeBoer-Rowse family to respond to Attorney General Bill Schuette's
request for an emergency stay by noon Tuesday.
That means that same-sex marriages in Michigan HAVE BEEN HALTED until
the U.S. Appeals Court for the Sixth Circuit issues a final ruling on
the motion for a stay after reviewing the response from the
DeBoer-Rowse's legal team - probably by close of business on Wednesday.
TAKE ACTION
Equality Michigan is urging our members to utilize this pause in marriage equality to:
- Sign and share this petition asking Michigan's Governor and Attorney General to withdraw their appeal to Judge Friedman's verdict: http://eqmi.us/EndAppeal
- Share your photos and stories from today, or express why you would like to get married once the courts allow it: marriage@equalitymi.org
- Donate to support the DeBoer-Rowse family's legal efforts fighting the appeal
- Visit Equality Michigan's Marriage Equality Center for the latest: equalitymi.org/marriage
- Help Equality Michigan secure equality for all LGBT people in Michigan in all aspects of their life
Bill Schuette's children and grandchildren are going to be embarrassed when he goes down in history as defending the indefensible.
