Michigan GOP: Desperately seeking distractions

 
Headline:  Michigan Advance, 5/15/2025

Anna Liz Nichols reports:
Earlier Thursday morning Linting and proponents for the bills, including anti-trans athlete advocate and former NCAA swimmer for the University of Kentucky Riley Gaines, who pre-recorded her testimony, advocated in the House Government Operations Committee for an amendment to Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Right Act specifying schools can base sports eligibility based on sex markers on original birth certificates. 
If the sponsors of the bills are so interested in the health and safety of women and girls, they ought to look at actual issues impacting their safety like gun violence, housing affordability or food insecurity, Emme Zanotti, senior director of movement building and political affairs at Equality Michigan said during the committee meeting.

Which is why we have all of these GOP distractions in the first place.
