Chicago Lesbian, Good News Partners Resolve Dispute over Denial of Access to Homeless Shelter
PRNewswire

A Chicago lesbian who was denied access to a City-funded homeless shelter today agreed to resolve the
dispute with Good News Partners (GNP) after the organization agreed to take a number of steps to insure that its facilities are free from all discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Michelle Wang of Chicago filed charges of discrimination in April 2007 with the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations and the Illinois Department of Human Rights after she was denied shelter at the New Life Shelter, owned and operated by GNP, on November 1, 2006. The denial came after Ms. Wang revealed to a GNP employee that she was homeless because of the break-up of her relationship with her lesbian partner.
