The San Antonio City Council today passed an anti-discrimination ordinance that includes members of the gay and transgender community, reports On Top Magazine
The local measure received national attention after Councilwoman Elisa Chan (pictured left) was heard on a leaked audio tape calling gays “disgusting.”
Chan, an Asian American, refused to back off from the comment.
“Just because I disagree with the lifestyle of the LGBT community doesn’t mean I dislike them,” Chan told the AP. “Similarly, just because one opposes this ordinance, does not mean one is for discrimination.”
