    Click through the images…it’s a slideshow with information on each one lol. Who’s not even bothering to open these before posting?

    Here are links to the actual legislation: https://legiscan.com/MI/bill/HB4474/2023

    On there, what is under Subjects?

    Civil rights: sex discrimination and harassment

    Civil rights: sexual orientation discrimination

      Oh, how about that. So, that slideshow only quotes the same “expert” as the fox news did.

      Here are links to the actual legislation:

      You’re relying on one bigoted alarmist’s deliberate misinterpretation of the law.

        The law specifically puts “gender identity” as a protected class for this legislation. Why do you think that is?

            Now put that together with the context of these hate speech law changes and you see what that means?

              It means they’re protected by the law. Not this sky-is-falling nonsense from one guy whose job it is to scream sky-is-falling nonsense.

                Right, so the changes they made to the law mean that someone can be charged for misgendering…….which is the point that you guys are saying isn’t true.

                  According to one guy who is deliberately misinterpreting the law because he’s a bigoted alarmist who doesn’t want trans people having any legal protections at all. You keep ignoring this.

                    I’m sure you don’t even see the irony in saying that’s just one persons opinion of it, like a random staunch democrat voters opinion isn’t biased in one direction.

                    What you mean to say is that you disagree and think the law won’t be enforced that way. The law makes it possible to enforce misgendering as hate speech.
