The heated fight over the anti-discrimination ordinance in Hamtramck continues, leaving the city's LGBT community in uncertainty as to whether or not they will be protected come November.
The ordinance was originally passed 6-1 in June by the City Council but was turned over to the Nov. 4 ballot July 30 after Ypsilanti resident Jay McNeely, backed by Gary Glenn, president of the American Family Association of Michigan, turned in the 417 signatures necessary to repeal the decision.
