@BigGretchWhitmer announces the state's first ever LGBTQ+ commission at Motor City Pride, which will represent the community within state government and will directly provide policy recommendations to the administration and the legislature. 

Since taking office, Governor Whitmer has taken repeated action to protect Michigan's LGBTQ+ community. In addition to issuing a proclamation marking June as Pride Month, Whitmer was the first governor in Michigan to fly the Pride Flag.

From protecting minors from conversion therapy to strengthening protections against discrimination in state employment through executive actions, as well as signing Senate Bill 4 reaffirming civil rights protections for sexual orientation and expanding coverage to include gender identity, Governor Whitmer has proven herself to be a staunch ally and fierce protector of LGBTQ+ Michiganders. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
