The Quotable Queer

Here is my letter to the Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council on an update of the Human Rights Ordinance. May right win over bigotry today!

And you can Quote me on that. The Quotable Queer

I am writing you to urge your support of Proposition 622. Proposition 622 will update the Human Rights Ordinance to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

No matter our personal beliefs, my hope would be that we all could agree that discrimination is not acceptable. Unfortunately, some people will always discriminate, and public policy must act to level the playing field.

Housing and employment should be based on merits alone, not on personal beliefs on personal issues. People will always disagree. Acceptance that a group exists within society does not require agreement with that group or what they represent.

I urge you to side with acceptance that discrimination does indeed take place and is not an acceptable practice in Indianapolis. Vote against discrimination and vote YES on Proposition 622.
