If you go onto Lansing’s YMCA
website you will find the motto, “We build strong
kids, strong families, strong communities.” But to
be a part of that strong family, you first have to have
a legal relationship as defined by the Lansing YMCA.
Sarah Himes found this out the hard way when she attempted
to add her partner Cate to her membership at the Parkwood
Branch YMCA in the Haslett area. Since Sarah and Cate do
not constitute a “legal” family (according to
state of Michigan law and YMCA rules), Stephanie Wagner,
Membership Assistant at the Parkwood Y, told Sarah that
she could not add Cate at the $19.00 per month fee, which
applies to family members. Instead, Cate would have to pay
the standard $49.00 per month membership fee.
