Council member plans LGBT ordinance
2015
Overview
\"This ordinance is to help the community,\" [Annette Williams] said Tuesday. \"It's not to force anything on anybody. I think that's what's being missed here.\" Unlike a similar ordinance in Laramie, Williams said the Cheyenne version would not carry the possibility of jail time for violating the ordinance, and potential fines would be lower. \"It's not going to be exactly like Laramie's,\" Williams said. \"It's going to be a Cheyenne ordinance.\" Williams said she hopes to have the ordinance ready to bring to the council before Thanksgiving and possibly in October. \"It's such an emotionally charged issue,\" he said. \"I don't feel this is something we need to rush.\" [Bryan Cook] also said he would welcome other opportunities for public input on the ordinance and knows council meetings will likely be well-attended. \"This is one of those issues where we're going to hear from everybody,\" he said. \"As long as the dialogue remains respectful and productive, I think this is a healthy discussion for our community.\" Nationwide, 22 states and the District of Columbia have statewide non-discrimination laws covering sexual orientation in employment, housing and public accommodation. All but four of those states also cover gender identity in all three aspects.
