People of all ages, colors and sexual orientations came to the steps
of City Hall Thursday afternoon in support of Gainesville's
anti–discrimination policy.

Members of the group Equality is Gainesville's Business spoke against
a charter amendment that would nullify the city's anti–discrimination
protections for gay and transgender people.
