STL County Council Meeting TUE @ 3:00 p.m. RE: expanding discrimination clauses to include gender identity & sexual orientation

I'm curious about what this pertains to; if it's just regarding housing or if this means even bathrooms can't discrimination. Here are two videos run in Ancrange, AK when there was a proposition there on this. Note: I can't find specific language at this point to know exactly what the Council is considering. The agenda language is like a black wall and I can't find BILL NO. 279, 2012 by searching the county site.


This is what's on the agenda:

BILL NO. 279, 2012, INTRODUCED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS DOLAN AND BURKETT, ENTITLED:
