Traverse City hair salon's refusal to serve trans clients is a cruel affront to LGBTQ+ rights

Many were frightened this would happen after the U.S. Supreme Court made it easier for some business owners to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ+ community.

I will speak out loudly. We don’t need to agree with each other. We don’t need to believe the same or be the same. But, let me be clear, we need tolerance, compassion, and kindness.

In a world where diversity and acceptance should be celebrated, it is disheartening to witness acts of discrimination and prejudice.


Recently, Traverse City, Michigan made headlines when a local hair salon owner refused to provide services to transgender and queer individuals.


This incident not only highlights the urgency to address discrimination but also emphasizes the need for compassion, tolerance, and kindness in our society. As a concerned citizen, I feel compelled to speak out against such harmful behavior and advocate for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.

Discrimination is a threat to equality.

The incident at the hair salon raises important questions about our society's commitment to equality.


With the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision making it easier for business owners to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community, it becomes crucial to recognize that discrimination is not an expression of free speech but an act of injustice. We must consider the potential consequences if such discrimination is allowed to prevail.


Could they be denied basic necessities such as groceries, gas, or even medical care? It is essential to address these concerns and take a stand against any form of discrimination.


Representative Bergman: Will You Stand Up?


In times like these, it is imperative that our elected representatives take a stance on issues that affect marginalized communities. Representative Bergman, will you represent and support the LGBTQ+ community?


Will you stand against discrimination and fight for their rights? The time has come for leadership that promotes inclusivity, understanding, and compassion. It is my hope that those in positions of power prioritize equality and work towards eradicating discrimination.


Promoting Tolerance, Compassion, and Kindness.


While we may not always see eye to eye or share the same beliefs, it is crucial to embrace our differences and treat each other with respect. Tolerance, compassion, and kindness should be the guiding principles that shape our interactions and decisions.

America's strength lies in its diversity, and it is our responsibility to foster an inclusive society where everyone feels valued and accepted.

The incident at the hair salon in Traverse City, Michigan serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against discrimination. As individuals, we must stand united against any form of prejudice and work towards building a society that embraces diversity.


Let us remember that we are all God's creatures and that it is our duty to treat each other with respect, empathy, and love. Together, we can create a world where discrimination has no place, and everyone can thrive.
