Ongoing Activities
Domestic Partnership Registry
The Domestic Partnership Registry was developed four years ago in response to the Michigan Court of Appeals ruling barring public employers from extending same-sex domestic partnership benefits. Affirmations is using the registry to galvanize the LGBT community and send a message to those in power. Our families are important! Sign up and become one of hundreds. Work or volunteer for an LGBT organization? Partner with us and help raise awareness.
