Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) announced Wednesday that the state will recognize some 300 same-sex marriages conducted in 2014.
The governor faced a deadline Wednesday to either appeal a recent ruling by U.S. District Judge Mark A. Goldsmith, or let stand the judge’s injunction requiring Michigan to recognize the several hundred gay marriages conducted on March 22, 2014, when the state’s ban on gay marriage was temporarily lifted. Snyder had 21 days to appeal Goldsmith’s ruling.
