Charleston Passes Nondiscrimination Ordinances

Mapsouthcarolinax390_0

The Charleston, S.C., city council passed two ordinances Tuesday that together prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing and public accommodations.

According to WCBD TV, the vote makes Charleston the second municipality in the state to pass such ordinances with protections for LGBT people, following Columbia.

The ordinances were presented to the mayor's office in August by the Alliance for Full Acceptance, SC Stonewall Democrats, SC Log Cabin Republicans, the American Civil Liberties Union, and South Carolina Equality.

South Carolina Equality hailed the news, noting that the public accommodations ordinance was entirely new for the city.

"These pro-business ordinances are consistent with the values of Charlestonians; they send the clear message that Charleston welcomes families from all walks of life," executive director C. Ray Drew said in a statement.
