Background/Summary:

Section 125.01 Florida Statutes, as amended, provides that the City Council may adopt ordinances and resolutions as may be necessary to the exercise of their powers.

Section 125.01 Florida Statutes, as amended, authorizes the City Council to provide and maintain for the citizens of the City, standards which will ensure their health, wealth, and well-being.

Explicit federal statutory protections currently address discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, but not sexual orientation or gender identity.

Education regarding Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender ("LGBTQ") issues increases understanding and cultivates acceptance of and respect for the LGBTQ community.
