    Here’s an msn one: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/michigan-residents-could-be-charged-with-a-felony-and-fined-up-to-10000-over-wrong-pronouns/ss-AA1dibuC#image=1

    That’s one sentence long and has no sources at all. You’re not even bothering to open these before you post them.

      Click through the images…it’s a slideshow with information on each one lol. Who’s not even bothering to open these before posting?

      Here are links to the actual legislation: https://legiscan.com/MI/bill/HB4474/2023

      On there, what is under Subjects?

        Oh, how about that. So, that slideshow only quotes the same “expert” as the fox news did.

        Here are links to the actual legislation:

        You’re relying on one bigoted alarmist’s deliberate misinterpretation of the law.

          The law specifically puts “gender identity” as a protected class for this legislation. Why do you think that is?

            Because they… want them to be protected by the law?

              Now put that together with the context of these hate speech law changes and you see what that means?

                It means they’re protected by the law. Not this sky-is-falling nonsense from one guy whose job it is to scream sky-is-falling nonsense.

                  Right, so the changes they made to the law mean that someone can be charged for misgendering…….which is the point that you guys are saying isn’t true.

                    According to one guy who is deliberately misinterpreting the law because he’s a bigoted alarmist who doesn’t want trans people having any legal protections at all. You keep ignoring this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
