Proposed changes to Charlotte’s nondiscrimination ordinance appear headed to a close vote Monday night by City Council members deluged with phone calls and a staggering 39,000 emails.

The proposals have sparked a firestorm, with groups of clergy on both sides sending open letters to the council and at least 75 people signing up to speak at the council meeting.

“I have gotten more emails on this than any issue in the 10 years I’ve been on council,” Democrat Michael Barnes said Friday.

Council members are scheduled to vote on an expansion of its nondiscrimination ordinance to include sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity to a list of protected groups. It also would prohibit discrimination based on someone’s marital and familial status.

A city Council full of degenerate whore slobs where they think they can do what ever suits them against the will of the people. if they pass this and they might because of there filthy vile hubris within them, then they should be voted out and the ordinance rescinded after they are booted out of there cushy seats they slobs sit in. Perverts and degenerates running Charlotte. Wake up People you are losing your children more and more every day to these pedophile and sodomite lovers. These pigs in the Council or who ever is pushing them go to bed at night thinking up filth that could be passed into law, these are filthy dreamers as noted in the scriptures, FILTHY DREAMERS.

Why is it, that to be considered “tolerant”, everyone else needs to give up their rights and beliefs? It’s like an obscene mantra with the Elites. I hope that every citizen of Charlotte is picking out new people to fill the seats of those voted out of office.
