More change we can believe in: today, a Federal judge in MI ruled that state's same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional!



Watch this lesbian-led family, who were the plaintiffs, learn of today's decision.

Also in his decision, the Reagan-appointed Federal judge also said the following about the testimony of UT-Austin Prof. Mark Regnerus, who was called by the state as a witness in the trial:

"The Court finds Regnerus's testimony entirely unbelievable and not worthy of serious consideration. The evidence adduced at trial demonstrated that his 2012 'study' was hastily concocted at the behest of a third-party funder, which found it 'essential that the necessary data be gathered to settle the question in the forum of public debate about what kinds of family arrangement are best for society' and which 'was confident that the traditional understanding of marriage will be vindicated by this study.' ... While Regnerus maintained that the funding source did not affect his impartiality as a researcher, the Court finds this testimony unbelievable. The funder clearly wanted a certain result, and Regnerus obliged."
