the_last_gunslinger Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 I live in Michigan and remember when the gay marriage thing was put to a vote in 2004. I was 18 then, and it was my first election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Useless fact, Michigan is the only US state I have visited.Detroit was a sad looking city...And here's another useless fact - I got my one and only accident on my beloved Mazda MX-6 in Detroit. I had a conference 2 hours from Detroit so I decided to take my car so I can visit some family living in Detroit. I was driving around looking at all the squallor, then I made a left turn and didn't realize that the lane was headed towards the tunnel to Canada! As I'm not a US citizen, I couldn't cross the border without my papers... so I stopped in the middle of the lane trying to figure out how to get out of it and this little old Canadian lady went full speed into my back...Yeah, Detroit was a sad looking city back then... (late 90's). I don't know how it looks now... probably worse. Hah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Another useless Michigan factoid: I did my state report on Michigan in 5th grade and have always wanted to visit, ever since. So when we decided to take a quick weekend family camping trip a few years ago, I begged my husband to let me choose Michigan instead of Pennsylvania. He was fine with that. We got a campsite outside Ann Arbor, and stayed for a whole 18 hours before driving back home because camping in the rain with a two-year-old just doesn't work.Yeah, Detroit was a sad looking city back then... (late 90's). I don't know how it looks now... probably worse. Hah!Definitely worse, or at least just as bad. Cleveland's unofficial tagline for a long time has been "At least we're not Detroit!"

Finrock Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 The title to this thread is misleading. Michigan did not "join" gay marriage legal states. What really happened was an activist federal judge legislated from the bench and forced the state of Michigan to modify their state constitution.-Finrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
