In the summer of 2006 an amendment to South Bend's Human Rights
Ordinance was introduced in the South Bend Common Council. The concept
of the original HRO was to protect citizens from discrimination in
housing, the workplace, etc., but a clear gap in that protection had
been identified. It was pointed out that there was no protection for
citizens on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity — real
or perceived.
