A federal appeals court has partially revived lawsuits brought by a Christian health care provider and a Catholic parish, challenging portions of Michigan’s anti-discrimination laws under the claim that those laws violate their constitutional rights.

The plaintiffs argue that the laws prevent them from making public statements opposing same-sex relationships or transgender activity and from hiring employees who share their religious values in this regard.
