You make all kinds of claims about how Fayetteville is this, struggling this way or that.

Orly, where did I claim Fayetteville was a struggling city?


You can't read very well.

Called the law of unintended consequences. And with the foresight (or lack there of) some of these city leaders have I doubt they have thought thru this very far. The fact they amended the ordinance during the meeting/ discussion proves that.

Yeah, how unconventional--amending an ordinance during a meeting about the ordinance. I'm pretty sure that's what meetings are for.

I think you're one of the people who haven't thought this ordinance through. You conjure the vague spectre of "unintended consequences" but do not offer any examples. Is that because your examples are easily discarded, or have you even thought of any?

- criminal charges for workplace discrimination is absurd
- as such it'll become a burden on employers as they fear firing the wrong person. It then becomes a he said she said. No business person wants to deal with that.
- you have 2 finalist for a job, gay and straight. Who do you think they'd hire to not risk facing criminal discrimination charges?
- if a white, straight male doesn't get a job they weren't qualified. If a gay person doesn't its discrimination. And gays are an angry, vengeful and intolerant group as a whole. Significantly more like to press charges or get pissed off.
- I've talked to several business owners that plan to move office locations north
- as previously mentioned, someone posing as transgender now has access to women's restrooms or other places such as gym locker rooms. People are weird, I'm sure this will have consequences. Who is going to decide who is transgender?? It's a mindset.
- every redshirt that spoke last night mentioned being beaten up for their beliefs. There are already laws for that. How does this ordinance change that.
- they are going to appoint 1 person to oversee this. Bad idea no one person should have that power to make those determinations.

Let the people vote. If the majority of Fayetteville wants to support this crap I'll pack my things and move. I shouldn't have my beliefs infringed upon because we have gays on the city council.

Heaven forbid we place "burdens" (as if that would even be a burden) on those poor, suffering employers

No one gives a flying frick about your beliefs. You can hate gays all you want. I'll call you a dumbass but it's your right to feel that. However your beliefs don't give you the right to infringe on others' rights.
