Michigan still allows businesses to fire people just for being LGBTQ. The campaign wanted to change that. The Michigan Supreme Court has killed a campaign fighting for a state law to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations. On Tuesday, the court declined to hear an appeal from Fair and Equal Michigan, whose petition to have an anti-LGBTQ discrimination law considered by the state legislature and potentially as a ballot measure was rejected by the Board of State Canvassers. The petition sought to revise Michigan’s 1976 Elliott-Larsen Civil Right Act to include LGBTQ people, but the Board deemed thousands of the petition’s signatures invalid, leaving it about 76,000 short, the Associated Press reported.
