"The city council of Topeka, Kan., home to the Westboro Baptist Church, on Tuesday night passed a measure to promote ways to end LGBT discrimination in the city."

The city aims to "include sexual orientation and gender identity on a list of issues about which the city's Human Rights Commission educates the public in order to prevent discrimination." The city stated the ordinance wasn't passed solely because of the presence of the Westboro Baptist Church, but they did also want to show that the city isn't defined by WBC.
