Introduced by Rep. Rebekah Warren (D) on February 6, 2009, to add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity or expression” to the characteristics that define membership in a group against whom it is a crime to discriminate under the Michigan civil rights law. This would make it a crime to deny employment, housing, use of public accommodations, public services, and educational facilities to another person on the basis of a perception that the person has a particular sexual orientation or gender identity.
- Referred to the House Judiciary Committee on February 6, 2009.

Why are you for this legislation? I have read the bill and it would basically force me to accept men in my restrooms and showerrooms, to hire men in drag, or women in drag, no matter what the job is, and force me to accept a lifestyle that I consider morally wrong. Why do the 'gender-confused' have superior rights to me? Why is sexual behavior considered more important than my right of conscience? It's like telling the head of the Islamic students organizations they must accept a practicing Jew as their leader, or for a local gay rights group to be forced to hire a practicing evangelist. There no recognition in this bill that people can choose to believe what they will and have that respected, if they are not of the homosexual, or sexually confused groups. They are given tyranny over the rest of us. How can you support that?

not by any other american than you. you seem to have a rather different view of what is the american way. perhaps it is from your viewpoint that socialism is good for the country.
