Of course the law would not say they are banning anti-gay sentiments but by reading the law it does state that they will ban anyone from the vague term of "demonstrating a bias". That term is extremely vague and comprises a large range of activities. What if someone goes to a Church that supports traditional marriage or what if they state that they support traditional marriage? In this day and time that is a bias even though such a belief might not effect the person's ability to be a good city council member. "Demonstrating a bias" could mean anyone who supports the traditional marriage or believe homosexuality is a sin. I think churches should rally against this new law and demand an explanation or change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not prejudice against homosexuals and I'm a Christian. Guess they will let me on the council then. Edited August 5, 2013 by LadyKay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice I underlined the word "religion" What has happen is a group of people said that the ordinance was going to ban Christians and people went and ran with that.

Guest Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Now wait a minute: “No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any person, group or organization on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, age or disability,” So, if it turns out, that this means they could ban Christians, then those who vote for this measure. have engaged in discrimination against a religion, and are then themselves disqualified form appoinment to a position on the council?
