In Rouch World, LLC v Michigan Department of Civil Rights (decided on July 28, 2022), the Michigan Supreme Court held that the Michigan Elliott-Larson Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination based not only on gender, but sexual preference or sexual orientation as well. The Michigan Supreme Court has now held that use of the word “sex” in the statute applies to gender as well as sexual preference/sexual orientation. The statute applies not only to private businesses and organizations, but Michigan municipalities as well.
