In 2017, State Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat who is Michigan’s first openly gay statewide officeholder, and the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan sued the state on behalf of two lesbian couples. The couples claimed they were turned away from adoption agencies because they are gay. Nessel argued that was illegal discrimination, and in March 2019, reached a settlement overturning the practice.
Less than a month later, faith-based adoption agencies sued the state of Michigan, naming Nessel, the federal Department of Health and Human Services and other government officials in the lawsuit.
