Jacksonville Rejects Two Bills to Change Nondiscrimination Policy
"The withdrawal of the Jacksonville bills represents another victory for families and religious liberty, both of which are under an unrelenting attack by the national LGBT machine,"
Jacksonville, FL - Last night the Jacksonville City Council voted to withdraw two bills which would have added the new categories of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity or expression" to Jacksonville's longstanding nondiscrimination ordinance. Beginning last year, Liberty Counsel established a prominent leadership role opposing these dangerous proposed laws. The efforts of Liberty Counsel and a coalition of community pastors and leaders successfully turned back the bills' supporters.
