A Pennsylvania township's decision to pass an ordinance to prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation has been hailed as a victory for the area's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, but some have expressed concern.

As ABC 27 is reporting, Susquehanna Township voted 7-1 last week approve such an ordinance, becoming the 26th municipality in Pennsylvania to advance LGBT rights. In addition, the ordinance protects residents from being denied housing or employment based on sexual orientation.
