Holladay • As the City Council began considering whether to protect gay and transgender Holladay residents from housing and employment discrimination, Councilman Barry Topham instead hoped to sideline the debate at a work session this week.

"We have so many problems in this city," said Topham, adding that discrimination against the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community is not one of them.

"I think you should be able to discriminate if you don't want a cross-dresser living in your house," Topham said.
