When do we start?

I heard a bit about this from a friend yesterday evening. According to a survey conducted by Michigan State University and released in mid November support for marriage equality in Michigan is now at 56% with 39% opposed. That is a big difference from only two years ago when support was at 48% and opposition was at 51%.

The GOP had billboards across the state saying: Obama supported gay marriage. Do you? Vote Republican. That obviously didn't work. Not enough people oppose marriage equality.

The friend who told me this also said it's too bad the Michigan Supremes have a GOP majority in addition to their majorities in both state House and Senate as well as governor. But that didn't sound relevant and got me thinking. Michigan's gay marriage ban got into the constitution in 2004 through a citizen petition drive (though well financed by the Bush campaign). I'm sure a citizen petition drive to put both a repeal and gay marriage into the constitution should be possible.

So when do we start?
