  • Fact Sheet LGBTQ+ Adult
    LIVINGSTON COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES COLLABORATIVE BODY Health and Human Service Needs ADULT FACT SHEET LGBTQ+ in Livingston County September 2019 What does LGBTQ+ stand for? LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning. These terms are used to describe a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity. The + sign is inclusive to all other terms used to describe a person’s sexual orientation and gender identity. You can find definitions for these terms at the following link: https://bit.ly/2srceH4. Why is this issue so important to Livingston County? According to the 2015-16 American Community Data for Michigan, 3.8% of people identify as LGBTQ adults and an additional .43% identify as transgender. In 2010 there was 142 same sex households in Livingston County. According to the National Institutes of Health, there are 1.5 million gay, lesbian and bisexual people over 65 living in the US currently and that number is expected to double by 2030. These older adults face additional challenges as they seek both medical and household supports. What are the Alarming Facts? From the National LGBTQ Task Force Survey: 19% reported being refused medical care outright because they were transgender or gender non- conforming. 28% reported they were subjected to harassment in medical settings 50% reported having to teach their medical providers about transgender care 41% reported attempting suicide compared to 1.6% of the general population. According to the National Intimate Partner and sexual violence survey of 2010: 44% of lesbian women and 61% of bisexual women and 26% of gay men and 37% of bisexual men experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

FIGHTING FOR INCLUSION: THE ORIGIN OF GAY LIBERATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Eric W. Denby, M.A. Western Michigan University, 2015 The 1960s and 1970s were decades of turbulence, militancy, and unrest in America. The post-World War II boom in consumerism and consumption made way for a new post-materialist societal ethos, one that looked past the American dream of home ownership and material wealth. Many citizens were now concerned with social and economic equality, justice for all people of the world, and a restructuring of the capitalist system itself. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan was a hotbed of student activism. As an early headquarters for the Students for a Democratic Society, a location of various student and faculty led demonstrations against the U.S.

  • 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.

  • Welcoming Congregation to Interweave
    From Becoming A Welcoming Congregation to Interweave Offered during Sunday worship by Joan Burleigh, October 12, 2014 (with appreciation to Cathy Doherty, Gene Gaunt and Jim Toy for sharing their recollections) Half a century ago, people with unfamiliar sexual orientations, gender expressions and gender identities were largely an “invisible minority” in our society. The Stonewall riots of 1969 are widely considered to be the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States. In 1970, Ann Arbor women and men organized the Ann Arbor Gay Liberation Front. The group was built on the work of the Civil Rights Movement, Women's Liberation and Students for a Democratic Society. Early in its history, the Ann Arbor Gay Liberation Front was invited by our minister, Rev. Erwin Gaede, to have their dances in our church on Washtenaw. Rev. Gaede, and after him Rev. Ken Phifer, invited the group to have holiday dinners there and, as the years went by, to hold in the church building same-sex weddings and -- especially at the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic -- memorial services. In January 1988, Ken Phifer preached a sermon on the issue of fairness to gay and lesbian ministers in response to an incident at Community Church in New York City, where a lesbian couple had been rejected for an associate ministry. That spring, our Congregation unanimously voted to support the General Assembly resolution proposing that congregations give fair consideration for lesbian and gay ministers, and that our Congregation become involved in the emerging Unitarian Universalist Association’s “Welcoming Congregation” program.
