Chambersburg area residents rallied in support of the LGBTQ+ community Thursday night at the opening of the borough’s largest annual event, IceFest. The rally was to show support following the repeal of the LGBTQ-inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance by Chambersburg Borough Council.
“Our LGBTQ+ neighbors are deeply hurt after losing their rights and equal protections - protections they fought so hard to get in the first place. They need a visual show of support right now, and what better opportunity than at our community’s largest festival,” said Noel Purdy, president of Franklin County Coalition for Progress.
Chambersburg on Monday became the first municipal authority in the commonwealth to repeal protections for residents against discrimination based on their sexual orientation, ethnicity or gender identity.
By a 7-3 Republican-majority vote, the Chambersburg Borough Council repealed the ordinance citing a host of reasons, including redundancy in the ordinance and lack of muscle in its provisions.

Honestly... what do they THINK they’re “rallying” for?Honestly speaking, the LGBTQABCDEF "community" is quite literally insane. But being insane today in the United States automatically qualifies one for extra rights that normal Americans don't receive. That's the new status quo in today's Amerika.

"“Our LGBTQ+ neighbors are deeply hurt after losing their rights and equal SPECIAL protections" They didn't lose crap other than the special protections that only they receive. IF they lost their rights, they'd be in a gulag somewhere or publicly stoned to death..... Damn drama queens.
