Keep LGBTQ Language Out of Michigan’s Civil Rights Act

Many of the LGBTQ movement’s goals run counter to the will of the American people. The ultimate objective of the LGBTQ special interest movement is to force the public to accept homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgender identities as healthy and moral equivalents to heterosexuality and biological gender identity. To this end, the LGBTQ movement has persuaded lawmakers to pass laws and organizations to implement policies that discriminate against those who oppose this objective. For example:

1. The inclusion of “sexual orientation” in nondiscrimination policies has been used to discriminate against people of faith and others who believe that homosexual behavior is not a moral or healthy alternative to heterosexuality.

2. The inclusion of “gender identity and expression” in nondiscrimination policies has been used: to normalize gender dysphoria and confuse children regarding their gender identity; to nullify same-sex privacy rights of individuals regarding the use of restrooms and locker rooms; to undermine girls and women’s sports by allowing biological males to participate; and to sabotage gender specific events and schools restricted to one biological gender.

Many corporations have yielded to LGBTQ activists and share responsibility for the discrimination and public harm promoted by the LGBTQ movement. In fact, many corporate executives are voicing their support of the 2020 LGBTQ ballot initiative to add “sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression” to Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. According to the LGBTQ organization behind the ballot initiative, these corporate executives represent: DTE, Consumers Energy, Herman Miller Furniture, Whirlpool, Dow, Quicken Loans, Apple, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Kellogg Company, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, and GM.
