Michigan goes after woman for Christian roommate posting

The Fair Housing Center of West Michigan has filed a complaint against a 31-year-old woman in Grand Rapids. According to the complaint the ad "expresses an illegal preference for a Christian roommate, thus excluding people of other faiths." Says Executive Director Nancy Haynes, "It's a violation to make, print or publish a discriminatory statement. There are no exemptions to that."

You read that right! In Michigan, you are not allowed to choose what kind of roommate you'd like to have. You have to take what life gives you or the government will shove it down your throat. This law does not only apply to landlords but simply renters who would have to potentially deal with this roommate on a daily basis.

The case was turned over to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. If the woman is found guilty of having a preference, she could face several hundreds of dollars in fines and “fair housing training so it doesn’t happen again.”

Despite growing opposition, the pig-headed organization intends to pursue this case. Says Haynes, "We want to make sure it doesn't happen again," she said. If there is a God, he's out taking a whiz right now.
