MI Outlaws Gay and Trans Panic Criminal Defense Strategy

LOVE Gov Whitmer!  Wouldn't mind if she was VP candidate, but I think she is needed in MI.

While this law might not totally prevent this type of crime, at least the Perps will be prosecuted and hopfully convicted.

I'm no fan of Whitmer or what generally happens in Michigan, but for me this is an issue of sound reasoning.  Surprised it hasn't happened sooner.  I don't know of any other aspect of law where being deceived by somebody is considered as justification for physical harm or murder. 

 

If somebody finds out their intended romantic/sexual partner is trans (and they aren't happy about it), the reasonable thing to do is to politely say, "No thank you, I don't feel that you were being honest with me, and this affects my willingness to continue."  We all have the right to revoke consent at any phase of a developing relationship, and the law supports that.  No panic required...just some adulting skills.  I'm glad we're moving closer to expecting reasonable behavior.

This is actually a good commentary on the LGBTQ Panic defense from an actual law association.

Some more info on its history as well from Wikipedia

Not quite as rosy as it may sound, but it makes a statement to some degree.
