CITY OF GAINESVILLE CHARTER AMENDMENT 1
Amendment to City Charter Prohibiting the City
from Providing Certain Civil Rights.
SHALL THE CITY CHARTER BE AMENDED TO
PROHIBIT THE ADOPTION OR ENFORCEMENT OF
ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, RULES OR
POLICIES THAT PROVIDE PROTECTED STATUS,
PREFERENCES OR DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS
BASED ON CLASSIFICATIONS, CHARACTERISTICS
OR ORIENTATIONS NOT RECOGNIZED BY THE
FLORIDA CIVIL RIGHTS ACT? THE ACT
RECOGNIZES RACE, COLOR, CREED, RELIGION,
GENDER, NATIONAL ORIGIN, AGE, HANDICAP,
MARITAL AND FAMILIAL STATUS. ADDITIONALLY,
THIS AMENDMENT VOIDS EXISTING ORDINANCES
CONCERNING SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER
IDENTITY, AND OTHER ORDINANCES
INCONSISTENT WITH THIS AMENDMENT.
YES - for adoption of the amendment
NO - against adoption of the amendment
This is what the voters where I live are up against very soon. This debate has been brewing for some time and is finally coming to a showdown vote.
The problem as I see it, is that well meaning but ill advised legislators have created a piece of poorly written legislation that creates more problems than it solves. In the interest of creating equal footing for all, it also opens the door for (among other things) men to use the women's restroom, legally, without interference. Think about the mile wide loop hole custom made for pedophiles...
Of course, those who support this are gang tackled by the LGBT crowd as being intolerant bigots, and the reverse scare is that then people could lose jobs, housing, etc. because of orientation.
So the people here are being asked to chose between equal rights and children's safety.
Which would you choose, and why?
