Casper gay rights group proposes city resolution against discrimination
Katie King 307-266-0581, Katie.King@trib.com Nov 27, 2017 Updated 8 hrs ago
Gay rights advocates will ask city leaders Tuesday to approve an anti-discrimination resolution, contending such a move would help support Casper’s LGBT community.
Attitudes toward Casper’s gay and lesbian community are improving, but support from local officials is still needed, said Ruth Ann Leonard, a member of Casper’s chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
She and other members of PFLAG, an organization that advocates for people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, are asking that Casper City Council approve a resolution affirming the rights of LGBT citizens to live discrimination-free lives.
City Council will consider the proposal at its Tuesday work session.
