Don't Get Sick in Michigan, Faggot

Michigan joins the ranks of rank homophobes...

These colors do run...
These colors do run...

No matter how much you think you "married up," pal, your beloved state worker's benefits do not cover you.

Can you blame the Michigan Supreme Court? They get to double dip with this one:

1. They get to save allllll that money on those 375 or so couples taking advantage of the benefits! and

2. They get to lob a gigantic "Fuck You" to queers everywhere! Talk about your cost benefits.

If you seek a cruel and petty peninsula, look about you!
