In recent weeks, the opposition has been stepping up efforts in the effort to repeal the LGBT anti-discrimination ordinance in Kalamazoo to spread falsehoods about gay and transgender people, our motives, what type of lives we lead and if ballot proposal #1856 passes, how large the chunk of the sky that falls will be. Misinformation is, of course, the best, time honored and tested favorite of "anti-gay" organization tactics.

The following is my personal favorite:

    Kalamazoo does not need a non-discrimination ordinance protecting Gay and Transgender people from discrimination related to housing, employment and public accommodations.

The party line goes something like this: "Those supporting the Radical Gay Agenda claim that Homosexuals are being denied fair housing and employment in Kalamazoo. It's a lie; there has never been a documented case of discrimination in Kalamazoo based on someone living a homosexual life style." It's so obvious, why do we need a law if no one is being discriminated against?
