A Christian health care organization is claiming a new interpretation of Michigan's anti-discrimination law as it relates to sexual orientation and gender identity "poses an imminent threat" to the group's constitutional rights to freedom of religion, religious exercise, speech and assembly.
Christian Healthcare Centers filed a lawsuit Monday against the state of Michigan, arguing the state's law violates due process because it imposes "vague standards" where the government is given "unbridled discretion" to censor speech.
The Grand Rapids, Michigan-area nonprofit organization says it serves everyone regardless of religion, race, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation, but will not participate in gender transitions or use pronouns inconsistent with an individual's biological sex.
