Michigan officials have charged a salon owner with discrimination after she said she would not serve people who identify as anything other than a man or woman.

The Michigan Department of Civil Rights on Nov. 15 charged Christine Geiger and her salon, Studio 8 Hair Lab, with discrimination after investigating complaints that were filed over Ms. Geiger’s comments.
