2022 WI Governor's race: on Civil Rights


Tim Michels: Supported constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage

Tim Michels doesn't think gay people should be out in public: Michels does not think that same-sex marriage should brought "out of your house" and has supported a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. He recently confirmed that he still believes in restricting the rights of LGBTQ Wisconsinites, as he did in 2004.

Leading candidate Rebecca Kleefisch infamously compared marriage equality to a "slippery slope" that would lead to people eventually marrying dogs or inanimate objects.
