It seems like a stupid law but using the “wrong” pronoun is not a crime in the proposed law. If it was, it would be nullified by the First Amendment.

Basically they want to add pronouns to hate crimes. 

Yes sir. I read the article and agree about First Amendment violations, but from the article:

A recently passed bill in Michigan could make it a felony to intimidate someone by intentionally using the wrong gender pronouns, according to some legal experts.

Under the new bill, offenders are "guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years, or by a fine of not more than $10,000."

Liberals at its finest just causing more red tape

law should be made for lying about what gender you really are….the one your born with.

Therein lies the problem of relying on articles for court rulings.

 The “some legal experts” (whatever those are) is a clue. Some legal experts think that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to private gun ownership. See how that works. 

 The proposed law ( it is not a law as of yet)  doesn’t say anything about pronouns. It says that intimidation of another person due to sex, race, religion, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc., is a hate crime. That’s it. 

So apparently some people would have you believe that it is perhaps okay to file charges on a person if he is intimidating or threatening another person due to his sex, or sexual orientation, or race, etc., but if you do the same because a man wants to dress in dresses, it is okay.

Here if the proposed law….

It is a crime to use force or violence against a person, cause bodily injury, intimidate, damage-destroy or deface property or threaten any of those actions. 

That is the proposed law.

I generally don’t like hate laws but this discussion (news articles) has a lot of political spin from the “experts”.
