'Michigan appears to be going in an...unprecedented direction,' the Michigan Catholic Conference warned.
(LifeSiteNews) – Michigan lawmakers are on the verge of passing a radical pro-LGBT civil rights bill that would significantly threaten religious liberty in the state.
Michigan is currently led by pro-abortion Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who won a second term last fall by 10 percentage points. Michigan’s’ State House and State Senate are also run by Democrats, who have not had majorities in those chambers in 40 years and are clearly capitalizing on their newfound power.
The Michigan State Senate passed SB 4 last week by a 23-15 vote, with three Republicans joining with their Democrat colleagues in support of the measure. The bill, which doesn’t include exemptions for religious entities, adds “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the list of protected classes of persons who cannot be “discriminated” against in the Wolverine State.
The Michigan Catholic Conference (MCC) has vigorously fought the proposal, which is set for a vote in the Michigan State House this week. Whitmer has said she would sign the bill.
“Every state that has amended its anti-discrimination law — 22 of them, and also the District of Columbia — has included protections for religious organizations. Unfortunately, Michigan appears to be going in an opposite and unprecedented direction,” the MCC pointed out in a statement published February 9.
MCC Vice President for Public Policy and Advocacy Tom Hickson said in a follow-up press release dated March 1 that the Michigan Senate “has signed off on creating a class of citizens against which discrimination and targeted litigation will be likely.”

Repent for the tribulation is at hand and the unrepentant will drink the cup of wrath to it’s very dregs.
I’m old enough to remember when everyone agreed the government had no authority over our personal lives. When the Executive Branch desegregated in the Civil Rights Era, it only applied to the Executive Branch... his sphere of influence. Then, everything changed and we now accept that the government is able to tell us with whom we must associate in direct violation of the Constitution.
Can we say, “Supreme Court”?
We just want to visit our partners at the hospital....
No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...
Still marching quickly towards the end! Maranatha!!!
Criminal government by democrats...again.
There is a large Apostolic Lutheran population in the Upper Peninsula, mostly of Finnish descent.

If you trust Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, you have nothing to fear.
Keep looking up.
unconstitutional= you cant force institutions entities to act against their faith by hiring people that are clearly unrepentant sinners to fill positions that ONLY the born again are allowed to fill-
Next Michigan lawmakers will pass people who thing they came from Mars ‘Civil Rights’ Bill.
