The Democratic-controlled Michigan Senate voted to expand the state's civil rights law to include the LGBTQ community and prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The bill still needs House approval before heading to the governor's desk. The bill's sponsor, state Sen. Jeremy Moss, said during a speech on the Senate floor that many LGBTQ community members have remained silent when faced with discrimination.
