An abstinence-only presentation provided to numerous school districts in Calhoun and Eaton Counties in October of this year provided false and misleading information to students about HIV, experts allege.
Two county registers of deeds filed a class action lawsuit Monday on behalf of Michigan’s 83 counties alleging that the Mortgage Electronic Registration Services owes millions of dollars in property title transfer taxes.
Despite evidence of the impact of mercury on children and public health, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette last month joined with 24 other state attorneys general in filing a lawsuit to scuttle new EPA regulations that would reduce mercury emissions from power plants.
American Family Association of Michigan President Gary Glenn says the city of Kalamazoo is out of step with other Midwest communities because it adopted a controversial anti-discrimination ordinance which protected citizens from discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations based on, among other things, sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.
In an email to supporters and the media on Wednesday, Glenn wrote:
Folks, we should not fail to note and frame public opposition to homosexual activists’ political agenda as aggressively as they frame and publicize indications of public support.
For example, in the Midwest alone in recent years: the South Bend city council rejected a so-called “gay rights” ordinance, Hamtramck (Mi.) voters rejected the same last November, Jackson (Mi) city council last month rejected such an ordinance 5-2, and just last night, the Goshen (In.) city council did the same, 4-3.
Thus, the exception is the Kalamazoo city council’s unanimous approval of such an ordinance in June, followed by opponents’ successful petition drive to place it on the ballot this November.
Nonetheless, the voters or elected city councils of four Midwest communities have voted on and rejected the so-called “gay rights” agenda in the last couple of years. We should identify and point to that trend as evidence that middle America rejects their demands that the Boy Scouts should be discriminated against and punished for not allowing openly homosexual Scoutmasters and that men who wear dresses should be allowed to use the women’s shower at the local health club.
Voters in Kalamazoo will decide the fate of the ordinance on Nov. 3.
