The Salt Lake City Tribune reports that by an 8-0 margin, Salt Lake County Council passed an anti-bias proposal that will protect gays and the transgendered from facing discrimination in areas of employment or housing. The seemingly sudden surge in support for the measure – it was initiated in July of 2009 – is largely due to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who supported the ordinance. The proposal, set to take effect in January, will affect some 170,000 residents.
Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz, Republican, again, according to the Salt Lake City Tribune, renewed his promise to prevent Washington D.C. from signing into law a measure meant to legalize same sex marriage. The D.C. Council passed the measure by an 11-2 vote Tuesday, and it will be signed by Mayor Adrian Fenty before Christmas. Congress, the Senate, or the President can revoke the law within a thirty day legislative period, and according to Chaffetz, he will introduce legislation in January to do just that, saying “It’s going to be exceptionally difficult because Democrats have us outnumbered by large amounts. Nevertheless, we’re going to try.”
