Michigan Adds LGBTQ Protections to Anti-Discrimination Law

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation Thursday codifying LGBTQ protections into the state’s civil rights law, permanently outlawing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in the state.

The legislation follows a state Supreme Court ruling last year that the Michigan’s Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act, which outlaws discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations and education on the basis of sex, extended to sexual orientation as well.

Whitmer’s signature Thursday ensures that the high court’s ruling cannot be reversed in the future and goes one step further in extending protections to include gender identity or expression. It comes at a time, Whitmer said, when there’s a “nationwide assault on our LGBTQ-plus community, especially our trans neighbors, family and friends.”

OK, proof that Ann Arbor and Lansing are dominating the entire state. Glad I left when I did.

So, can boys who identify as girls compete against girls in high school sports without restriction?

It’s only a matter of time until a court declares pedophiles to be a protected class under these gender identity laws.

There will be a point where people decide enough is enough and the answer is just NO. No matter what a tyrant says, the answer is no. Unfortunately, people can be pushed way too far down the road before that happens, which makes recovering so terrible in price.

Look - we need to play this game to show the country what fools these people are.

Here’s what THEY do - they find a sexual kink that’s offensive to large numbers of people then they demand protection and wallow in ‘victim-hood.’

So WE come up with offensive sexual kinks and demand THEY respect’ us and WE wallow in victim hood... And WE make it political. (Oh, we must be protected from the ‘intolerant’)

Here’s my first group: sh*t eaters... second group? People who have had feathers surgically inserted under their skin and demand the right to be accepted as birds. And since ‘birds’ do it outside... AND poop on the floor...

Bestiality will be the next “new” thing among the woke. There is nothing left other than animals and kids, and they will save their best until last.
