In favor of fair housing 😉

Loads of housing discrimination still.
Including gays. Landlord “we don't rent to fags.”. And nothing could be done.
In favor of “committed local body. “

Was born with ambiguous gender. Tells story of life of discrimination.
Fired from job because of this.

But is offensive to religion. And discriminates against religion.
Says would be unprecidented in a city with an identical law.

Gay civil rights are important.
She says we're all keen. Discrimination against us is “wrong”.

Important economic issue.
Jeanne Clark
Today is mlk birthday. Latest battle in the drive to form a more perfect uinion.
