Excerpt:
The Grand Rapids based non-profit healthcare provider says a newly interpreted Michigan law is forcing religious organizations to violate their religious beliefs.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — In a landmark decision by the Michigan Supreme Court in July, the state’s anti-discrimination law was interpreted to cover sexual orientation.
The court, in a 5-2 opinion, said the word “sex” in Michigan’s key civil rights law applies to sexual orientation and not just gender.
Now, a Christian based non-profit healthcare provider is filing a religious discrimination lawsuit against Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel.
The Grand Rapids based healthcare provider, Christian Healthcare Centers, filed the federal lawsuit Monday saying the state’s anti-discrimination law violates the organization’s religious beliefs.
