Equality Michigan, the statewide anti-violence and advocacy organization proudly serving Michigan's LGBTQ and HIV affected communities for over 20 years. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) citizens and citizens affected by HIV experience a Michigan in which they lack the opportunity and legal protections afforded to most. In our state, it is still legal to fire or evict someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We’re working to update state law so that Michigan treats LGBTQ people, people affected by HIV, and their families fairly. Our staff consistently monitors lawmakers to ensure that pro-equality policies are supported and adopted. We work on these policy issues day in and day out: • Discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations • Safe Schools • Parenting and Adoption • Immigration Equality • Marriage • Hate Crimes • HIV/AIDS Get involved, learn more about the issues, report discrimination, and stand up for equality at our website: equalitymi.org Have you ever experienced discrimination? It can show up in many forms, including missing a promotion, being denied an opportunity to rent or buy a home, or even experiencing a violent act. This type of discrimination happens to LGBTQ people and people affected by HIV on a regular basis. Thousands of people are victims of discrimination or harassment because of real or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. Call 1-866-962-1147 or email report@equalitymi.org to report and get help! Working passionately for over 20 years to achieve full equality and respect for all people in Michigan regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
