Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel will appeal a decision by a Michigan Claims Court judge, who ruled that a business can deny services to same-sex couples on religious grounds.
On Monday, Judge Christopher Murray ruled that Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA) provides protection for individuals based on their gender identity but not based on their sexual orientation .
Signed into law in 1977, ELCRA prohibits discrimination on the basis of “religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, familial status, or marital status” in employment, housing, education, and access to public accommodations.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel plans to fight a court determination that businesses may, under state law, choose not to serve customers who are gay.
State Court of Claims Judge Christopher M. Murray in a summary judgement this week ruled that Michigan’s definitive anti-discrimination law, the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1976 (ELCRA), doesn’t include protections for sexual orientation. The same ruling found that it does, however, protect based on sexual identity.
