The Supreme Court has announced they plan to hear arguments on two issues around same-sex marriage on April 28. Do same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry, and are states required to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states?

Meanwhile, the Michigan House plans a vote on bills that would allow faith-based adoption agencies that take state money to continue to reject same-sex couples as potential adoptive parents.

Susan Demas, publisher of Inside Michigan Politics, and Ken Sikkema, former Senate majority leader and senior policy fellow at Public Sector Consultants, talk to Jenn White about what this means for Michigan.
