Demanding GLTB Rights in Michigan

The Issue

Gay people In Michigan  have no rights or protections. We have the power in our hands to change this..

Now heres a few facts about Michigan thanks to Wikipidia


State law does not address hate crimes based on gender identity or sexual orientation. According to two gay rights groups, anti-gay hate crimes had a 133% increase in 2008.[4]

Michigan is one of four states (the other three being Florida, Mississippi, and Nebraska) that explicitly prohibits adoption by same-sex couples.[5]


A July 2011 Public Policy Polling survey found that 33% of Michigan voters thought that same-sex marriage should be legal, while 53% thought it should be illegal and 14% were not sure. A separate question on the same survey found that 62% of Michigan voters supported the legal recognition of same-sex couples, with 29% supporting same-sex marriage, 33% supporting civil unions but not marriage, 35% favoring no legal recognition and 3% not sure.[6]----------------
