"DETROIT, MI -- A federal lawsuit filed by a group of transgender people against Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson will continue after a judge on Monday denied a motion to dismiss the case.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds found that the plaintiffs raised a cognizable claim that their constitutional rights to privacy are being violated by a state policy that makes it difficult or impossible to change the gender recorded on their driver's licenses. "

Ruth Johnson is why
Michigan is unable to move
forward in transgender equality.
She is also against LGBT and same
sex marriage. I'm sure many LGBT
that are in Michigan can't wait until
Ruth Johnson is replaced.
