Michigan has a law Against Gays,Lesbians,bisexuals,ETC stating that if you are suspected of being gay then you could lose your job.
Theres a web site called dontchangeyourself.com and it basically talks about males and females that are gay,lesbiens, bisexual,etc. the site says that if you are a male you should keep your goatee niceley cleaned because it concludes that you care to much about grooming, and for women to wear at least four inch heels because lesbians like comfortable shoes. If you are suspected of being Gay you could lose your job,
The website, which advises persons which gay stereotypes to avoid, “is a humorous take on the extremes someone may have to go through to keep their job,” said Denise Brogan-Kator, executive director of Equality Michigan.Its the Law
I feel this is not a fair Law for Michigan to have understood Gays,Lesbians,etc. can take it to a certain extinct but for someone to judge you because of how you look SMH thats crazy. We as human beings are human we are who we are and shouldnt be jugded, if thats what people choose thats thier life noone elses. thats the problem in the world today everybody worried about the wrong things.

Funeral of Troy davis
T.Leaphart
COMM 236
More than 1,000 people attended the funeral service today for Troy Davis, the convicted murderer who was executed in Georgia last week despite emotional pleas for his life.
The funeral, held at Jonesville Baptist Church in Savannah, lasted for about 3.5 hours, and was open to public.
The eulogy was delivered by the Rev. Raphael Warnock of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Ga., who served as a spiritual adviser to Davis on death row.
Warnock said he hopes Davis' funeral will serve as wake-up call on the death penalty, and commended the Davis family for having the service open to the public.
"It's much to the Davis family's credit that they have been willing in the midst of their personal pain to see that we are talking about a larger, national moral crisis," Warnock told the AP Friday.
Other speakers, including NAACP president Benjamin Jealous, also called for the death penalty to be abolished.
"Troy's last words that night were he told us to keep fighting until his name is cleared in Georgia," said Jealous, according to The Associated Press. "But most important, keep fighting until the death penalty is abolished and this can never be done to anyone else."
more than 1000 people attended Troys funeral showing sympathy for his Family. he was wrongly executed and manyb believe that is was wrong because he was a black man being accused of klling a white policeman but hey his last words tell it all RIP Troy Davis.

Welfare changes in Michigan
T.Leaphart
comm 236
Thousands of people and families are affected by the changes the state of Michigan has made, Michigan just last Saturday cut all who were collecting benefits and family support from receiving any benefits. Now the people are trying to sue the state of Michigan for not giving a earlier notice on this thousands of family's are hurt by this no more food stamps no more cash assistance how will they get by, the job market isn't all that great in Michigan so yes people were counting in that help and now there is none.
My Opinion whoever came up with this bright idea is selfish and i don't think this was thought thoroughly what do they expect the people to do after many years of receiving benefits, and on top of that there were no early notices about the situation.i hope they get this figured out, they are making the world something it doesn't have to be.
