Whitmer on Republican lawmaker’s same-sex marriage resolution: ‘Hell no’

Rep. Josh Schriver introduced a resolution asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, which legalized same-sex marriage, with support from eight other states.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer opposed the resolution, stating in a video, 'Hell no,' emphasizing her support for marriage equality.
The resolution reinforces the definition of marriage as a union between one man and one woman, as outlined by Michigan voters in the state constitution.
Gallup polling shows that 69% of U.S. Citizens approve of same-sex marriage, indicating strong public support against the resolution.
