UNANIMOUS!! East Cleveland City Council votes “YES!” Sponsored by Council President Dr. Joy Jordan and co-sponsored by Council vice-President Chantelle Lewis, this legislation provides needed protection for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender folks against discrimination, in addition to offering protection to folks who experience discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, or religious choice. Each Councilor expressed, exuberantly, his or her commitment to protecting the rights of every East Cleveland citizen and anyone doing business with East Cleveland, regardless of that person’s gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, age, gender identity, or religious choice! Today, I am so very proud of these statespersons that were elected by the people of East Cleveland who rose up a did what’s right.
