An exclusive Q&A with the contenders

The City's Fair Practices Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Would you take any specific actions to encourage and ensure enforcement at businesses and government agencies?

BRADY: Yes. Nobody should be discriminated against for any reason.
EVANS: Yes. I tried to support the same position of the Equality Forum in terms of how they use their leverage to ensure equality in the private sector.
FATTAH: I will direct our Commission on Human Relations and its staff to identify specific ways the city could improve the promotion of the Fair Practices Ordinance to further our non-discrimination efforts as they relate to all protected bases.
KNOX: It's already a law. If any business weren't complying, I'd issue a city ordinance.
NUTTER: Yes, I was a cosponsor of the city's 2007 Fair Practices Ordinance, which awarded protections related to transgender people and gender-identity expression. As mayor, I will ensure that these guidelines are implemented.
