This is where you need to be, because wherever in the world you compete, Michigan can give you the upper hand.
--Jeff Daniels, in a pitch for the Michigan Economic Development Corporation
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation has been peppering the news channels with their advertisements for businesses seeking to move to, or grow within Michigan. Their commercials usually end with a variant of the statement above -- to date all of these commercials have ended with the phrase "...because wherever in the world you compete, Michigan can give you the upper hand."
The one place Michigan can't compete is regarding employment equality for it's LGBT citizens. Full story...

I've been reading a thread on a denominational bulletin board where some have been telling the LGBT people things l can't tolerate:
LGBT people need to convince the majority to allow them to have civil rights If most LGBT people are not Christian, how can Christians support their rights? Events like Southern Decadence show that LGBT people are not serious about marriage Isolated incidences of rage and violence by [some] LGBT people show that [all] LGBT people are not deserving of civil rights If LGBT people do not repudiate every violent and immoral act by LGBT people, they are tacitly supporting those actionsI'm fed up.
All I can say is that I hope to see more letters like this on the Americans for Truth Obsessed With Against Homosexuality web site.
Early Sunday morning we will land in the Netherlands and spend 10 days in a country where we are legally whole.
Mike Hein, Mike Heath and the rest of the idle fundamentalists in the homosexual stronghold of New England are trying to gin up some outrage by tying random events to The Gay Agenda in the wake of Prop 8 - screaming about hate crimes.
I'm conflicted whether I should bring up this topic at work, because I don't want to seem like a "Grinch".
Oh, the irony. I'm sure she's thinking about The Man Upstairs and the sanctity of marriage while she's grinding the pole for "fitness.
Don't count on anyone simply handing over gay rights upon polite request. David Hart
