City shoots down homosexual ordinance

  The Jackson (Michigan) City Council recently voted down an ordinance originally brought to them in 1999. The proposed ordinance says no one can be denied equal protection under the law, nor can anyone be discriminated against because of “race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, height, weight, condition of pregnancy, marital status, physical or mental limitation, source of income, family responsibilities or status, educational association, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or HIV status.”
  The council’s final vote was 5 against, 2 in favor. George Brown, member of the Human Relations Commission, disagreed with the council’s decision. He said, “I think they trivialized the process.”
  In communities where the ordinance has been passed, many women and children have had their privacy violated in public restrooms. The ordinance has also been used to discriminate against and punish business owners, Boy Scouts, Catholic charities, Salvation Army and United Way.
  John, who now prefers “Julie,” Nemecek is the executive director of the homosexual activist group Michigan Equality (ME). ME brought the ordinance to the council’s table.
  Citizens in neighboring Kalamazoo will be faced with a similar ballot measure this fall. John Stryker, a billionaire homosexual activist, is the driving force behind getting the ordinance passed there.
