They can have all the protection they need....just take it back to the closet!

[AmericaUnited]

state and federal offices, among other groups, would be exempt

Another case of "we don't want to live under the same laws to push on you serfs."

Dallas Mayor Laura Miller is proposing an anti-discrimination ordinance that would offer gays and lesbians protection in hiring, housing and public accommodations such as hotels and restaurants.

I am fairly new to the Dallas area after moving here from East Texas and it is totally beyond me how this woman got elected as the mayor of Dallas. I arrived here prior to the beginning of the campaign and had a chance to see her work in the city council, not a pretty sight.

Genetic or not, it's a behaviorial habit/preference...

I thought we had the right to association...

Why should these types be allowed more protection than anyone else? Is it because they have bigger mouths?

[xzins]

the best protection is to lock them in isolation from each other so they quit having hundreds of sex partners and killing themselves with weird diseases. Twenty-four hour watch would prevent most of the suicides that are epidemic in the community. The average age of death by their own hands is about 43 years old.

Matthew Shepherd died young....but that would have been the truth in any case.

Drafters of the ordinance had wanted to create a human rights commission that would investigate complaints, as other cities – including Fort Worth – have done.

That would have cost an additional $750,000 to $1 million, council members said.

They can't find enough money to give the police a decent raise and yet they are going to come up with the money to fund whatever it takes to secure rights for homosexuals? I guess the police are just gonna have to wait some more.

Why not grant them the same protections afforded smokers and gun owners, and call it a day?
