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. Nsel, who is gay, attacked a 2015 law enacted by the Republin-ntrolled Legislature which allowed agenci like St.
