South Bend Mayor extends protection for sexual orientation, gender identity

by: Thomas

Great news out of South Bend, where Mayor Stephen Luecke has issued his first executive order after twelve years of holding office. And as many in the local community will no doubt agree, the wait was well worth it.
Mayor Stephen Luecke on Wednesday issued an executive order protecting city employees from job discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

It was the mayor's first executive order in his 12 years in office.

The policy encourages city employees who believe they have experienced employment-related discrimination - whether it's because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or heterosexual - to report such incidents to the city's Division of Human Resources.

Good job, Mayor Luecke.

Brace thyself for the neocon onslaught in 2011 elections.  It will come.
