San Antonio Proposal Could Bar Christians From City Council



Churches across San Antonio are expressing outrage over a proposed anti-discrimination law that would protect LGBT workers but would not provide a religious exemption and would effectively prohibit anyone who opposes homosexuality from holding public office or getting a city contract. The proposed change would add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the city's discrimination ordinance. It would protect gays, lesbians, transgender, and veterans, a move that had critics accusing the council of playing politics with the military.
