LANSING – More than 65 elected officials from across the state have signed on to a call to expand the state's Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to include protections for gay and transgender people.
The Local Electeds Against Discrimination (LEAD) statement calls on state lawmakers to enact protections similar to what many local communities have adopted.
In March, state Sen. Rebekah Warren, D-Ann Arbor, said she would introduce legislation to amend the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to include protections for gay and transgender people.
