Statement in Support of Amending South Bend’s Human Rights Ordinance
I am signing this statement to encourage South Bend’s Common Council to
amend the Human Rights Ordinance to extend to all individuals protection
against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (heterosexual/
bisexual/lesbian/gay) or gender identity in the areas of housing,
employment, education and public accommodations. Amending the Human
Rights Ordinance would give individuals who believe they have been
discriminated against on this basis the opportunity to turn to the South Bend
Human Rights Commission for assistance.
Note: I understand that churches and religious organizations would be
exempt from such an amendment if it conflicts with their beliefs.

gender identity.
