MEMPHIS, TN -- Shelby County Commissioners are considering passing an ordinance that would make it illegal to discriminate against someone because of his or her sexual orientation, identity or expression. The ordinance would protect all county workers. Commissioners are expected to vote on the proposal Monday, June 1, 2009. On Wednesday, June 27, 2009, commissioners debated the issue.
Commissioner Wyatt Bunker told fellow commissioners, "You would have to be in a cave to know this isn't just the issue." Bunker added, "It's part of a bigger movement. It's part of the homosexual agenda that's being debated across the country." He added "the homosexual agenda undermines family values and the family values this country holds dear."
Darlene Fike is a transsexual who listened to Bunker and the other commissioners. Fike says "I would love to sit down with Mr. Bunker and talk about this from a Biblical perspective. I am a conservative Bible believing woman."
