  • EQMI ACLU Request for Interpretative Statement
    Co-Chairs Laura Reyes Kopack and Rasha Demashkieh Michigan Civil Rights Commission 110 West Michigan Avenue, Suite 800 Lansing, MI 48913 June 30, 2017 Dear Co-Chairs Reyes Kopack and Demashkieh: We are writing to request that the Michigan Civil Rights Commission (“Commission”) issue an interpretative statement finding that the prohibition on sex discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations found in Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (“Elliott-Larsen”), MCL 37.2101 et seq., includes a prohibition on discrimination based on an individual’s gender identity and sexual orientation. The Commission has the authority to issue such a statement under MCL 37.2601; MCL 24.201 et seq.; Mich Admin Code, R 37.23. This interpretative statement is of critical importance to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Michiganders. As you are no doubt aware, unlike 18 other states1, Michigan does not have a state law that explicitly prohibits anti-LGBT discrimination in employment, housing, or public accommodations. The Commission itself has concluded that discrimination against LGBT people in Michigan “exists and is significant” and “has direct negative economic effects on Michigan.”2 In addition, although the federal prohibition on sex discrimination in employment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(1) (“Title VII”), has been interpreted to encompass discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, many LGBT people in Michigan do not receive the benefit of this prohibition, because they work for employers with fewer than fifteen employees, the threshold for Title VII coverage. Amending Elliott-Larsen to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation is a top public policy priority for Michigan’s LGBT community and our respective organizations.

  • May 9, 2018 the Honorable Charles Grassley Chairman Senate Committee on the Judiciary 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washing
    May 9, 2018 The Honorable Charles Grassley Chairman Senate Committee on the Judiciary 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 The Honorable Dianne Feinstein Ranking Member Senate Committee on the Judiciary 152 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 RE: 32 LGBT Groups Oppose Confirmation of Ryan Bounds Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein: We, the undersigned 32 national, state and local advocacy organizations representing the interests of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people and everyone living with HIV, urge you to oppose the nomination of Ryan Bounds to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Mr. Bounds’ record leaves little doubt in our minds that he is incapable of administering fair and impartial justice towards LGBT people and other marginalized communities. Mr. Bounds has clearly and consistently expressed his animosity towards vulnerable communities through a series of commentaries that he wrote while serving as the opinions editor for the Stanford Review. For example, in one piece, Mr. Bounds criticized students of color and LGBT students for being “overly-sensitive” in the face of discriminatory acts specifically targeting them. Following the vandalism of an on-campus statute celebrating “gay pride” (without explanation, Mr. Bounds places the term gay pride in quotes) by a group of athletes, Mr. Bounds expressed concerned only about the rights of the athletes, without any recognition of the effect of this action on LGBT students. He went on to bemoan the university’s decision to provide financial support for the on-campus LGBT center as a result of the incident.1 Similarly, following the firing of a senior Latino administrator, Mr.
