Democrats passed legislation last week that makes it a criminal offence for Americans to use the wrong pronouns, which is now punishable by a $10,000 fine or a five year prison sentence.
House Bill 4474 is part of a package of bills that would replace Michigan’s Ethnic Intimidation Act with expanded protection for people on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation:
The legislation specifically states that an individual is guilty of a “hate crime” if they “intentionally” do “any of the following to an individual based in whole or in part on an actual or perceived characteristic of that individual listed under subsection (2), regardless of the existence of any other motivating factors.” It includes using force or violence, causing bodily injury, damaging or destroying property, or threatening or “intimidating” said individual based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity “or expression,” physical or mental disabilities, age, ethnicity, national origin, or association with an identified group.
However, the proposed law is very general, as it essentially asserts that one can be guilty of committing a “hate crime” for making an individual merely “feel” intimidated. Many have pointed out the dangers of the generalization, as far-left activists have often accused conservatives of exhibiting “hateful” behavior for speaking out against allowing biological males to use women’s restrooms and changing rooms or compete in women’s sports, for example.
According to the legislation, the act of intimidation itself involves the “willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.”
Hypothetically speaking, an individual could “feel” intimidated or harassed, for example, for being called by the wrong “preferred pronoun.”
Breitbart.com reports: House Bill 4474 passed the Michigan House by a 59-50 vote, and it will now move to the Democrat-controlled Senate. If passed, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) is expected to sign it.

Michigan Rep. Angela Rigas (R) criticized House Democrats for “allowing the gender delusion issue to be used as a ‘protected class.’”
“This opens up numerous issues when it comes to the courts and the continued weaponization of the system against conservatives,” Rigas added. “We saw similar concerns when they wanted to pass blocks on ‘conversion’ therapy. It seems Dems want to be in the business of telling people how to think.”
I will call a feagott what he is, a mentally disturbed person that needs to deal with his childhood abuse and abuser.
You need help Your a very sick girl who needs to deal with your own issues your homophobic hateful attitudes
you need to think back to your child hood, some adult male treated you like a female, you don’t want to face the truth that you were raped so it is easier for you to just accept the event and call yourself homosexual to justify the violations you experienced.
“it was not rape, I wanted it because I was born this way”
Your losing the plot Josefina You need to look at what makes you such a hateful person. It’s not normal. And your clearly totally ignorant and a fantasist as well. You need to think about who you think you are.

So it leaves out doing anything based on political views or popularity or anything like that. So if a group just don’t like someone because maybe they know they’re big criminals pedophiles crooks in Disguise then there’s no protections for them Join the dots
Haze circle factless and pointless MORON!
What else would you expect from a state run by a trio of brain dead khunts.
threatening or “intimidating” said individual based on race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity “or expression,” physical or mental disabilities, age, ethnicity, national origin, or association with an identified group.
So you and josey etc are protected under the mental disabilities clause, so you should be grateful.

Actually it’s very good In the sense that now no American can say anything about anyone at all They can’t butch about democrats or republicans or Trumpians or terrorists or sports teams or clubs or lodges or professions politicians lawyers cops actors anyone They have to shut their traps or risk jail They canf condemn anyone in any form of group like oedophiles or teachers No one The septic tanks have been sealed shut.
It’s an idiot bill, and God knows there’s plenty of you on the left. Because only a fool would believe you could get away with that in free speech America. They’ll never be able to enforce it, and all it will do is corner an already enraged people – that’s when violence will become a viable option for them. Then as you and your pervert community cheer, you’ll start to die off one by one.
Leave people hopeless and they have nothing left to lose. But eugenecists do get their deaths – so there is that.
“Infringing” On ANY Part Of Our Constitution & Bill of Rights By Our Public servants IS ILLEGAL & Treason – We, The People MUST STAND AGAINST THIS.
You have no idea about the law because you’re lazy and stupid.
ABUSIVE!!! you should be banned but than agin U are lack roc bac page bac tup$$
The good people of Michigan need to file a class action lawsuit against their treasonous government and their anti-1st Amendment actions.
