LANSING, Mich. – A ballot drive has turned in more than 483,000 signatures for an initiative to prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ people in Michigan by amending the state's civil rights law. “Michigan stands united to bring LGBTQ rights into law for the first time," said Trevor Thomas, co-chair of Fair and Equal Michigan. The proposal would revise the state's 1976 law to bar discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing and public accommodations. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a landmark federal civil rights law protects gay, lesbian and transgender people from discrimination in employment. Backers of the Michigan measure said it would provide broader protections in local employment, housing and public accommodations.
