The upl claimed they were turned away om adoptn agenci bee they are gay.
However, Democrats and LGBTQ advot said rtrictns agast gay fai amounted to a "policy of bigotry. That led the Michigan Department of Health and Human Servic to enact a new le to termate ntracts wh agenci that discrimate agast gay upl.
