The city board held a meeting Monday night to listen to the public and voted to repeal the measure by a 7-0 vote.
Kalamazoo Gazette
The Kalamazoo City Commission voted unanimously Monday night to repeal its new anti-discrimination ordinance, stopping a citywide referendum on creating a protected class for gay, lesbian and transgender individuals.
The rescinded ordinance expanded an existing city code that had outlawed discrimination in real estate transactions to include employment and public accommodations.
It also required companies doing business with the city of Kalamazoo to show proof that they have their own policies prohibiting gender-identification discrimination.
