Like Kalamazoo (MI), Gainesville (FL) is fighting to keep its non-discrimination protections for LGBT people in housing, employment and public accommodations.  Equality Florida is asking for your help.

    The City of Gainesville is under attack and we all are at risk if the far right succeeds.

    A group calling itself "Citizens for Good Public Policy" has placed a charter amendment on the City of Gainesville's March 24th ballot which, if passed, will repeal gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender protections in housing, employment, and public accommodations within city limits.

    This threat to Gainesville is a threat to Florida.  Every community in Florida that has stepped forward to denounce discrimination against LGBT people will be in danger if we fail to stop this divisive and mean-spirited initiative.
