OXFORD, AL (WBRC) -Oxford city councilors met at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday and voted 3-2 to recall the ordinance that made it illegal for people to use a public bathroom that is different from the gender on their birth certificate.

Three councilors voted to repeal the law and two voted in opposition to the repeal.

The meeting was held in the Council Chambers of Oxford City Hall and the council chamber reached their capacity of 100 people about 18 minutes before the meeting was set to begin.
**********************************
A "common sense" move by the Oxford city council. It is again safe for transgender people to pee in Target in the Oxford Commons. Not sure how safe it is to actually live in Oxford but the most onerous Ordinance in the US has now been repealed.
