Support for LGBT Workplace and Marriage Equality On The Rise in Michigan
A new poll of 600 registered voters in Michigan shows increased support for ten key, and currently lacking, legal rights as they pertain to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Michigan. A proposed amendment to the state's civil rights law, which would prohibit employment discrimination against LGBT people, has support from 75.5% of Michigan voters, including 56% of strong Republican voters. Support for civil marriage equality increased 12.5% from last year to 56.8%, including 54% for a constitutional amendment reversing Michigan's 2004 ban and legalizing same-gender relationship recognition.
