Louisiana Mayor Wants to Protect Gays


CEDRIC GLOVER X390 (.GOV) | ADVOCATE.COM

Shreveport, La., mayor Cedric Glover wants the city's nondiscrimination policy to cover sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Shreveport Times reports that Cedric Glover and three city council members will push for the change by lobbying other city councilmen and women. 

"It is the right, proper, and appropriate thing to do," Glover said.

The mayor's actions come on the heels of a minor scandal that had a city councilman attempting to pull city money from the nonprofit Robinson Film Center because he claimed it "supported gay and lesbian rights."

    OMG is right! I can't believe that in this day and age we even have to discuss the fact that certain groups of people don't have the same rights and protections as everyone else. If any group of individuals are singled out and persecuted on a consistant basis they should be protected by the law of the land. Thank God our Federal Government finally recognized the need and passed the Matthew Shepherd Act. I just don't understand people who do not believe that all Americans deserve the same rights and privilages as everyone else.
