At the most recent City Council work session, gay and transgendered people appeared in force to back the city's proposed nondiscrimination ordinance. The ordinance received overwhelming support, I being the only dissenting voice.
But in the midst of all the testimonials from our homosexual friends, an astonishing fact came to light. Speaker after speaker announced that they either lived or worked in Ogden. Not one of them complained of being denied housing or employment. Should we be stunned that our city has managed this without a nondiscrimination ordinance in place?
