Today I learned that a trans man my dad works with was fired after receiving his top surgery.

Several other employees have also been let go after speaking up in his defense via social media.

And this is totally legal because in Michigan, you can be fired for being openly gay or trans.

I’m absolutely fucking furious.

(And since my dad can’t say anything on Facebook without losing his job, I might do it in his stead because we’re both pissed.)

Fuck michigan

Living in Michigan myself, I’ve seen this happen. One of the best teachers in my school district was fired once he came out as openly gay to the students. Michigan legislation really needs to get its act together and stop this.

If I may interject, this isn’t a Michigan issue, this is a national issue. This kind of shit is legal in 21 states. To be honest, I don’t want to just see Michigan legislature do something about this. I want to see goddamn Congress do something about this. Yes, this is a tremendous issue. But don’t limit it. Don’t simply say this is a Michigan problem. Make your voices heard and make it known that this is a national issue. Sometimes issues shouldn’t be blown the fuck up. This one should be. 

Protest the companies, protest the government, protest the shitty nation that allows things like this to happen. 

It’s actually 29 states according to this Huffington Post article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/30/fired-for-being-gay_n_6076492.html

If your state is one where this kind of bullshit is legal, do something about it.

Contact your state representatives, make this their problem.

If you can vote, for god’s sake vote! Make your voice heard, it’s the only way to create change.
