EVANS: Yes. I tried to support the same position of the Equality Forum in terms of how they use their leverage to ensure equality in the private sector.
FATTAH: I will direct our Commission on Human Relations and its staff to identify specific ways the city could improve the promotion of the Fair Practices Ordinance to further our non-discrimination efforts as they relate to all protected bases.
KNOX: It's already a law. If any business weren't complying, I'd issue a city ordinance.
NUTTER: Yes, I was a cosponsor of the city's 2007 Fair Practices Ordinance, which awarded protections related to transgender people and gender-identity expression. As mayor, I will ensure that these guidelines are implemented.
