Refusing to fill a special cookie order for a political event does not amount to discrimination, the authors of a city ordinance to protect gays and lesbians said Friday.

But the authors of the city's human rights ordinance, which the City-County Council passed in 2005 and which includes guarantees for equality regardless of sexual orientation, caution against an overly broad interpretation.
