What do transgender activist Michele de La Freniere and Scottsdale City Councilman Bob Littlefield, currently running for re-election, have in common? More than you might think.

In 2007, de La Freniere, as a member of the City's Human Relations Commission, was concerned about supposedly rampant prejudice and violence against the gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual (GLTB) community in Scottsdale. None existed but de La Freniere was still concerned. The Commission forwarded recommendations to amend the Scottsdale Revised Code to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in City of Scottsdale employment activities;  and enact an ordinance to extend non-discrimination provisions to contractors, suppliers or lessees doing business with the City of Scottsdale, and to businesses and organizations within Scottsdale. The recommendations were on the agenda for the City Council meeting on 12/4/07.*
