Councilwoman Pushes Gay Rights Ordinance

[Ohio Joe]

NASHVILLE, Tenn.- It's a question of equal rights or special rights Another sexual orientation debate is gripping Nashville. Thousands of Metro workers could see a new layer of protection added to the employee handbook if councilwoman Megan Barry gets it past her nay-sayers.

Megan Barry says she drafted this ordinance in response to actual complaints in Metro workplaces. Now, she says she's getting even more claims of discrimination.

1. That writer calls him/herself a journalist? Never said what the ordinance is.

Nowhere in there is anything saying what the ordinance being proposed actually is.

I assume it's some kind of thing to help protect gay people from discrimination in the job, but I'm curious what the actual details are.
