Gov. Whitmer: LGBTQ+ Legacy, Gay Daughter & Fighting for Michigan's Equal Rights | Pride Source

From her home in Lansing, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer sits down with Pride Source Executive Editor Chris Azzopardi to reflect on her LGBTQ+ legacy, including the emotional moment she signed the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act with her gay daughter Sherry standing beside her, how Sherry coming out transformed her approach to allyship, and why — despite leaving office in January 2027 — she's not done fighting for the LGBTQ+ community. #GretchenWhitmer #LGBTQ #Michigan #Pride2026 #EqualRights #LGBTQRights #ElliottLarsen
