Michigan House can't put gay marriage amendment before voters
LANSING - The Michigan House failed to get enough votes to allow voters to decide this summer whether they want to change the state constitution to limit marriage to one man and one woman.

The House voted 65-38 on the resolution, short of the 73 votes needed to send the resolution to the Senate. Loud applause broke out outside the House chamber and in the balcony after the vote.

*Big sigh of relief from me*

Did we really need a third law on the books that disallows gay marriage?
