ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center today announced that it will act as legal counsel for "Citizens For Good Public Policy," a coalition of citizens and businesses, in Gainesville, Florida, formed to enact a civil rights amendment to the City's Charter.  The Charter amendment would prevent the addition of special categories to the City's human rights ordinance not currently included in the State of Florida's Civil Rights Act. 

The Civil Rights amendment will prevent the addition of a multitude of bizarre special rights categories that are being pushed by radical groups with a national agenda. The Civil Rights amendment will have the effect of invalidating the "gender identity" category which creates awkward and potentially harmful situations for the citizens of Gainesville.
