The #Michigan state Senate voted Wednesday to expand the #ElliottLarsen #CivilRights Act to include #LGBTQrights in the state’s anti-discrimination protections. Most Republicans voted “no,” but three GOP lawmakers joined the Democratic majority in the 23-to-15 vote. The bill now goes to the state House. Governor #GretchenWhitmer has said she is eager to sign the bill into law.

#MiPol Watching Moss' #MiSB4 (2023). The bill passed the senate, is headed to the house, and would codify last year's SCoMi opinion - gender identity and sexual orientation are protected by #ElliottLarsen

Dems were able to secure a narrow majority in the legislature, and it may pass the house. This is worlds apart from the last session's iteration of the same bill - the fascist majority prevented it from ever seeing the floor

Redistricting has given us a chance
