Anchorage “sexual orientation” measure vetoed

New York Times: “The mayor of Anchorage on Monday vetoed a ban against discrimination based on sexual orientation, saying it was unclear that such discrimination existed.”

KTUU (Alaska): “Jim Minnery, president of the Alaska Family Council, says Sullivan’s decision was a good one, and says the law would do more harm than good because it would infringe on people’s religious beliefs. ‘We didn’t seem to find any homeless people that were homeless because they’re gay or lesbian, or folks that were denied loans because they’re gay or lesbian or folks who were denied jobs,’ Minnery said.”
