My colleagues and I have worked to expand the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), reaffirming, and expanding legal protections for the LGBTQ+ community. This effort has been 50 years in the making and will protect our LGBTQ+ family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors against discrimination in employment, public accommodations, and public services. It also will provide protection in educational facilities, housing, and real estate.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In addition to passing a resolution recognizing June as Pride Month, the Michigan Senate has passed bills \u2014 including Senate Bills <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Bills\/Bill?ObjectName=2023-SB-0348\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">348<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislature.mi.gov\/Bills\/Bill?ObjectName=2023-SB-0349\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">349<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> \u2014 to ban the harmful practice of conversion therapy by mental health professionals seeking to change the gender identity or sexual orientation of minors.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These legislative efforts are a big step forward for Michigan, but certainly not the last.

Foam can form on any waterbody and is usually an off-white\/or brown color with an earthy or fishy scent, and tends to pile up in bays, eddies, or river barriers such as dams.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While some foam may be harmless, foams can contain harmful chemicals or bacteria, that can include high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These foams will typically be bright white in color and lightweight. Studies have found that high exposure to some PFAS can be linked to damaging health effects including high cholesterol and liver damage.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you touch any foam, rinse off or bathe as soon as possible, especially if the water is suspected to be contaminated with PFAS, other chemicals, or bacteria. While PFAS entering your body through your skin is low, touching foam without rinsing or bathing increases the chances of accidentally swallowing the foam and its contents. It is also recommended that pet owners do not allow their animals to touch or swallow foam on waterbodies.
