BIG thank you, Dr. Faunce.

Ever since this question arose this morning I have been back-stepping, trying to find a document I found online about a week or so ago.  The document dealt with that exact question (Why should each/every cultural/demographic group be specifically identified in regards to non-discrimination?).  This downloadable (in PDF format) was created by some commission in Colorado.

AS SOON AS I COME ACROSS THIS DOCUMENT (and I will), I will download it, post it here, and email copies to Mayor Chaney and each member of the city council.  COUNT ON IT ! ! !

> It is completely legal in Idaho to discriminate against people for sexual orientation, Gender Identity/expression.  Idaho courts will throw out the case.  You could try to get it to the US Supreme Court, but they may decide not to hear it.  Discrimination based on Sexual orientation, Gender Identity/expression is also not protected under Federal Law, so it is doubtful the Supreme Court will hear it.  That is why this ordinance is needed.
