Cleveland--City Council is well on its way to including transgender people in the city's non-discrimination code and creating Ohio's third domestic partner registry.

Ordinances to do both were been approved on December 1 by council's Legislative Committee and will likely be passed by the full council at their December 8 meeting.

Mayor Frank Jackson is expected to sign both the registry and the measure to add gender identity to the city's equal rights ordinances, said his spokesperson Maureen Harper. The equality ordinances have included "sexual orientation" since 1994.
