MY GOD! When will the GLBT population wake up and take control of their own lives? When do we get a GOOD CANDIDATE to replace people who would continue discrimination in our capitol city? If Indianapolis will not pass this ordinance, then there is NO HOPE of Indiana getting on board. All our rural General Assembly has to do is point to Indy and say--- hmm.. if they can't pass it, why should we? <BR/><BR/>And the fact that he even brings up the lack of complaints.... DUH! Rhetorical question: If a gay man complains about being fired and no one listens, are we in Indianapolis?Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12920832653776490682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1123841279500006262005-08-12T05:07:00.000-05:002005-08-12T05:07:00.000-05:00He's an "honorable,honest" man with "high spiritual values." He found the HRO "morally tough" and he voted his "convictions" but he "has an open mind."<BR/><BR/>Let's look at this: another "h" word comes to mind that trumps honor and honesty. Hypocrisy. <BR/><BR/>He finds it "morally tough" to protect citizens from discrimination in housing and employment but he speaks for those who have no voice. Clearly, his moral reasoning skills are obscured by some deep personal aversion to those the HRO sought to protect. <BR/><BR/>Finally, this was a vote of conviction, but he's open minded so those convictions are flexible depending upon...????? What's a conviction if it can't be changed for no explainable reason?<BR/><BR/>Is this what passes today in Indianapolis Democratic politics for leadership?Tracy Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734228543533496238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1123768435758407892005-08-11T08:53:00.000-05:002005-08-11T08:53:00.000-05:00His excuse "Indianapolis has not had any complaints filed relating to sexual orientation/gender identity" is the same lame-assed one used by other councilors.<BR/><BR/>Where would people file complaints, Ron? IT'S PERFECTLY LEGAL IN THE STATE OF INDIANA TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST GLBT PEOPLE.Jeff Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442791690252112600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1123767008235781232005-08-11T08:30:00.000-05:002005-08-11T08:30:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
