Bill Summary

A resolution to recognize June 2020 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month in the state of Michigan.

AI Summary

This Resolution formally recognizes June 2020 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month in the state of Michigan, acknowledging the 50th anniversary of the 1970 Pride events that stemmed from the 1969 Stonewall Riots, a pivotal protest against police mistreatment of the LGBTQ community led by figures like Marsha P. Johnson. The resolution highlights the historical struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ rights movement, including the ongoing fight for discrimination protections in housing, employment, and public accommodations, noting that Michigan's LGBTQ community currently lacks these protections under the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. It emphasizes that embracing diversity and amending the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act would benefit the state by attracting talent, fostering economic vitality, and upholding the freedom, worth, and dignity of all its residents, while also affirming the cultural, civic, and economic contributions of LGBTQ communities to Michigan.
