Hutchinson Adds Sexual Orientation To Anti-Bias Rule
Associated Press - Wed 10:21 AM 06/06/2012
Council approved the addition by a 3-2 vote Tuesday
The Hutchinson City Council has agreed to add sexual orientation to the city's anti-bias ordinance.
The council approved the addition by a 3-2 vote Tuesday. The issue had drawn strong public comment at past meetings but only one person spoke against the ordinance before the final vote.
The Kansas Family Policy Council, which opposed the ordinance, is talking to other opponents to decide whether to start a petition campaign to put the issue to a public vote.
Because only 1,308 people voted in the last municipal election, opponents would need only 327 valid signatures to get the issue on the ballot.

Thank you Hutchinson! Looks like more and more are doing the right thing even here in Kansas. I see Cosby and his group the The Kansas Family Policy Council and Bible Natzies are very busy all over the stat with trying to stop gay rights, abortion, and now removing art in Johnson County with a Grand Jury. One would start to want to know if he is doing this on his own or who is pulling the string to make the puppet dance since he is not that bright on his own. I still remember when he was going after the porn shop in Abilene and using on Duty Highway Patrol officers and recruits from the training classes to record everyone that came and went from the Lions Den, and ran the tags, got personal info on them for their database to ruin them.

At that time it was for Phil Kline, but since he is no longer welcome in the state and in power, I don't think he is pulling the strings. The Kansas Family Policy Council is just another arm of the Phelps idiots in Topeka. Just not as open about the hate but just as deranged. They want to inflict there system of beliefs on all of us. I had the misfortune of attending one of their meetings.
