Lambda Legal’s Help Desk - MI & NC discrimination

Lambda Legal

On April 2, 2015, in the Detroit Free Press, Governor Rick Snyder said: "Given all the events that are happening in Indiana, I thought it would be good to clarify my position. I would veto RFRA legislation in Michigan if it is a standalone piece of legislation."

Just two months later he signed a law putting religious discrimination ahead of the best interests of children.

Sadly, we have a clear picture of the fight ahead of us when elected officials in Michigan, North Carolina and across the country are rushing to enact bigoted laws that cynically misuse faith as a tool to hurt others.

These laws will be used to deny loving homes to Michigan children in need and to subject same-sex couples to the indignity of being turned away by government-funded agencies in Michigan and by government officials in North Carolina. Discrimination inspired by religious views is still discrimination.

We expect Lambda Legal’s Help Desk will light up with calls from those who suffer discrimination imposed by these laws, and we stand ready to help. To reach our Help Desk visit: lambdalegal.org/help http://support.lambdalegal.org/site/R?i=TZWftSzvBM8c4TP2lFKqIw

Lambda Legal will pursue every available path to ensure that LGBT people have the full recognition of their civil rights in the states where these hateful laws have been passed and across the country - but to continue this work, we urgently need your support.
