Doylestown, PA, outlaws discrimination against LGBT persons

Good news from the Philly suburbs:

Doylestown, Pennsylvania, the Bucks County seat located about an hour north of Philadelphia, passed a law on Monday night outlawing discrimination against LGBT persons in employment, housing, and public services.

The Doylestown Borough Council passed the measure by a 9-0 vote.

It's sad that we still need laws to protect people from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. But, as long as that need exists, I hope more and more towns, cities, and states will adopt similar measures.

  1. I'm glad that that law was passed. May every little burgh with good people do the same.
