Supporters of same sex marriage in Michigan were handed a major setback late yesterday. After about an eight month wait, the 6th Circuit federal appeals court reaffirmed the state’s ban on same sex marriage.Supporters of traditional marriage are cheering the decision, which is the first of its kind at the federal appellate level. Four times, the courts have voted to reverse such bans.
