February 5, 2003—Cincinnati City Council voted 7-2 today to expand the city's hate-crimes ordinance to protect gays and lesbians. This in effect reverses the city ordinance the AFA has been using as their sole example (in the entire United States) of intolerant public policy and was the basis of the language in the failed Traverse City Proposal 1. Amendment
to remove gay protection from law defeated We support and defend any person's Constitutional right to practice any religion of her or his choice—we do not support the efforts of extremist organizations to amend our Constitution and/or City Charter to legislate their religious beliefs and practices—at the expense of others—in effect creating a "state imposed religion." In recent times Jews, blacks, women, gay men, lesbians, Japanese, Muslims, and other minorities have all had to bear the weight of institutionalized oppression and discrimination in the name of God and country. It is our right, and in fact our duty as citizens to uphold our Constitutionally guaranteed "freedom of religion" and "freedom from religion" in the United States of America. Freedom is precious—embrace it—protect it.
