In the end, Hanrahan and commissioners Craig Lowe, Jeanna
Mastrodicasa, Jack Donovan voted to approve the ordinance, which includes the words "gender identity" into a list of classes of people protected from discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodation and obtaining credit. Already covered in the ordinance are race, sex, sexual preference and religion.

Quote"In that sense it makes a claim on other people's property," Braddy said. "This is about granting special privileges to a class of people."

Yes, wouldn't want to 'grant special privileges to a class of people.' That being so, I would conclude that Gainesville, FL will soon see Mr. Braddy open a campaign to stop recognition of heterosexual marriages, remove all white-males from the city commission, set-up election campaigns in the city to make it possible for all people, even destitute homeless people, to be able to run for and win city commission elections.

After that I suspect he'll want to take the campaign to all of Florida and then nation-wide. 

Who knew Gainesville, Florida was such a hot-bed of anarchism!!
