In the Huckleberries comments section, Councilman Mike Kennedy posts: "Tony Stewart said something today that resonated with me (paraphrasing): "the law can't compel us to love one another, but it can compel is to treat one another lovingly" - in this case - with basic equal rights. This is a secular matter in a multi-cultural, multi-religious world. And if I have to err, I will err on the side of human equality, human dignity, and basic human rights. Everything else is window dressing. The preamble to the Constitution refers to our permanent goal of striving to form a more perfect union. I think this ordinance, small, unnecessary, and inconsequential as it may be to some, is working toward that larger goal. And to some people, I know this ordinance could well rekindle the hope that the system works for them, too. That's America to me." Full comment here.
