http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/04/040908de.htm(Detroit, Michigan) Detroit has become the latest city to ban discrimination on the basis of gender identity. City council voted 8-1 to amend the city's nondiscrimination ordinance which already bars discrimination against lesbians and gays.
"The passage of this human rights ordinance is a great positive step forward for the City and we are pleased to have been involved on the ground level to ensure the inclusion of gender identity," said Kate Runyon, Interim Executive Director of the Triangle Foundation.
