There were some things in the ordinance that made is harder for folks to swallow. It essentially made Fayetteville a sanctuary city for illegals, in my understanding. There were provisions that kept people from discriminating in renting to non-citizens, etc.
It was too broad, IMO. Bring it back to just being about gays, make it very straight-forward, take out the shared pissers idea, and it should pass.

I've not read the ordinance, nor do I care to. I'll just say E. Springdale is the recognized area for the non-citizens. As long as they stay East of Gutensohn and North of the railroad bridge. Fayettevillians are good.

You can't appoint a person to have unchallenged power to instigate witch hunts and lynch mobs, which is precisely how this ordinance would have been policed. Very scary.

These are my thoughts exactly. I think most can agree that gay people need and deserve protection from employment/housing discrimination, but the ordinance tries to do too much.
If they created a new ordinance that just added the words "...and sexual orientation" to the existing federal legislation, then I don't think there would be near the backlash.
