I grew up in Lambertville, MI in the southeast side of the state. Michigan is a wonderful state, but this episode leaves the couples of Michigan in a lurch. I wonder how high and mighty the justices feel knowing that they have taken away the rights and benefits bestowed to gays and lesbians. Is ok, though, we are used to being second class citizens. We can get by on the table scraps that we are tossed every now and then.

It's too bad that the law passed without some protection against this happening. If the politicians are any good(?) they can look at establishing a law that says if you are not married and you have medical insurance you may choose any, one person to be covered with you.
