URGENT: Tampa City Council Needs to Hear From You!

On November 19th the Tampa City Council will vote on whether to ban gender-based discrimination by adding "gender identity and expression" to the Tampa Human Rights Ordinance.

Last week the council voted 7-0 to approve the measure and send it to a final vote. Since then, an anti-LGBT group has asked its members to bombard the City Council with distortions and outright lies about what this measure would do.

We must speak up NOW for equality!

We cannot let the anti-equality voices go unanswered. Your city council needs your support to ensure that Tampa protects all of its citizens.

Despite the hysteria of those who oppose equality, this amendment will provide long overdue protections for transgender employees and those who don't fit gender stereotypes.

The majority of Fortune 500 companies, state governments and local municipalities across Florida have these policies in place. Major businesses have stepped forward to deliver the message to the city council that protecting people from gender-based discrimination is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do.

For cities and companies, these policies send a positive message that employees will be judged on merit not by prejudice.
