English professor Christopher Leland has an op-ed piece calling for the defeat of Proposal 2, the issue on the state ballot that recognizes marriage as a union between a man and a woman. He points out that he is gay and explains some of the challenges of being in a same-sex relationship. "About the only benefit we as a couple have enjoyed in Detroit," he points out, "is the domestic partner medical and dental insurance available through my job at Wayne State University. . . . If Proposal 2 passes, those benefits will disappear."
