LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Lincoln City Council has voted in favor of a measure that protects gay and transgendered people from discrimination. Council members approved the measure with 5-0 vote. The newspaper says council members Adam Hornung and John Camp abstained from voting, citing different legal opinions on the city’s authority to pass such a measure. At least 200 people showed up for a May 7 public hearing on the proposal, which supporters have labeled the fairness amendment. Ninety-nine people signed up to speak. The measure legally protects people from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations in Lincoln based on gender identity or sexual orientation.
