BOISE, Idaho — The Boise, Idaho City Council voted unanimously to pass a sexual orientation and gender identity non-discrimination law, covering employment, housing and public accommodations.
According to Boise television station KBOI-2, many members of the business community spoke up in favor of the new ordinance saying it could attract new companies to the city.
Further east, Minneapolis swore in lesbian Janeé Harteau as the city’s 52nd chief of police, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
“I will always stand up and do what is right, even if I stand alone,” Harteau said in a speech, while flanked by her partner Sgt. Holly Keegel and the couple’s 13-year-old daughter Lauren.
