Bowling Green, Ohio is working to pass an ordinance in their city that would repeal ordinances that protect citizens from discrimination in housing and work based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and HIV status.

My thoughts -- I doubt that there is actually no discrimination occurring. But even if this person believes there is none, then why not pass it, it's not going to effect you!
