With little dissent Monday, Sept. 25, DeKalb became the second city in Illinois to provide protections for transgendered people in its human-rights ordinance.

"I don't think anyone was surprised last night," said Norden Gilbert, chair of DeKalb's Human Relations Commission. "There was a lot of relief."

The 6-0 vote caps an effort that began behind the scenes two years ago after the city added sexual orientation to the ordinance.
