Kalamazoo, Mich.,
Adopts Antidiscrimination Ordinance

The city of Kalamazoo, Mich., passed a measure Monday banning discrimination against gay people in housing, public accommodations, and employment. All seven members of the city commission voted in favor of the ordinance, and nothing but support was voiced during the public-comment portion of the meeting, the Kalamazoo Gazette reports.

The law, backed by the Kalamazoo Alliance for Equality, was described by Alliance spokesman Terry Kuseske as "a bold move whose time has come," according to the paper. (Advocate.com)
