Summary — HR 138 (Michigan)

A resolution to declare June 2025 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Pride Month in the state of Michigan

Main purpose and intent

This House resolution formally recognizes June 2025 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month in Michigan. It commemorates the historical origins of Pride (noting the 1969 Stonewall protests and leaders such as Marsha P. Johnson), acknowledges the LGBTQ community’s struggles and legal milestones (for example Obergefell v. Hodges and Bostock v. Clayton County), and affirms the value of LGBTQ Michiganders’ cultural, civic, and economic contributions. The resolution expresses an intent to celebrate authentic living and promote Michigan as welcoming to all residents and talent.

Key provisions / language

  • Recites history and context of the modern LGBTQ equality movement (Stonewall, HIV/AIDS response, recent court decisions).
  • Recognizes the contributions of LGBTQ people to Michigan’s economy and civic life.
  • Declares June 2025 to be “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Pride Month” in the State of Michigan.
  • Implicitly encourages state recognition, events, and messaging consistent with that designation.

Who/what is affected

  • The resolution is commemorative and symbolic: it affects state recognition, public awareness, and ceremonial observances (e.g., proclamations, events, flags, and public messaging).
  • It primarily honors and recognizes LGBTQ Michigan residents and communities and signals policy/cultural priorities to employers, civic institutions, and potential residents/visitors.
  • No programmatic, regulatory, or budgetary changes are required by the text.

Procedural status & timing

  • The copy supplied identifies the Michigan House resolution as introduced and attributed to a group of Representatives (including Jason Morgan, Pohutsky, McFall, Dievendorf, Hoskins, and many others).
  • The bill header in the provided materials lists “introduced Jan 3, 2025” and later notes referral to the Committee on Government Operations (date listed: June 26, 2025).
  • Because this is a simple commemorative resolution, typical legislative treatment is expedited consideration and nonbinding adoption; final effect is primarily ceremonial.

Fiscal and legal impact

  • No direct fiscal impact, appropriations, or statutory changes.
  • Not legally binding beyond symbolic recognition; it does not alter rights, duties, or laws.
