April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, the couple whose federal case struck down Michigan‘s ban on same-sex marriage, refused on Saturday to take advantage of their win by getting married themselves. 300 same-sex couples tied the knot in four Michigan counties over the weekend, until an appeals court placed a temporary stay on the judge’s ruling.

The two nurses who singularly adopted three children (one has adopted two, the other, one) brought their case initially just to overturn the state ban on joint adoption. Killing the ban on same-sex marriage wasn’t their original intent.
But now, for the first time, the couple spoke about their future plans.

“Until all those couples can marry, said April DeBoer, she and Rowse won’t either,” MLive reports:
“Jayne and I talked about it, and we decided that we were not going to get married until every gay and lesbian couple in the state of Michigan (can marry),” DeBoer told WDET’s Craig Fahle in a Monday radio interview.
“Janye and I are happy we’re going to be able to get married, but this is about the kids, and kids in our situation, and we decided we were not going to get married until this issue is settled, until every child who had available a two-parent home, could have one.â€
