What, exactly, would be different? Is there a massive amount of unseen anti-gay discrimination? I am not saying there is none, and I am not opposed to some further anti-discrimination laws. But your post seems to indicate that Michigan is some sort of gay-suppressive state. It's not. And the states with the statewide laws also have their fair share of problems. Gay people are now widely accepted in society. We do not have gay Jim Crow laws in Michigan. Gay people are largely strong and independent, not suffering victims.
