As a student at MSU — one who is looking into housing off-campus next year — I would strongly encourage and support the East Lansing City Council’s resolution opposing action be taken by state legislators to deny lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered couples from renting property within East Lansing.

The issue of same-sex marriage, couples and rights has been a topic of debate for the past few years within the legislature. People are people, and we should have no right to tell someone they can’t like another person because they are male, females, etc. by giving landlords the right to deny the LGBT community from renting property is a step away from equality. We are a community made up of different beliefs, races, gender and likes.
