These aren't EXACTLY on track, but they're close, and both of these things
happened in West Michigan and both are pretty well documented in media
archives. I am working from memory so may not have all the facts 100% straight.

- A teacher was forced from his public school teaching position merely
because he was gay. After a long series of further harassment events
(showing the local school board to be a rather moronic lot) over several
years he died, at a relatively early age, of a heart attack that was ruled
to be stress related.

- A man served jail time for swearing in "public" (at a canoe launching site
on public land when he had a mishap and struck himself, he cried out in pain
and frustration, he was overheard by an overzealous policeman and arrested).
