Commission Bans County From Recognizing Gay Pride

Commission Bans County From Recognizing Gay Pride - from TBO.com
Despite charges of discrimination, Hillsborough County commissioners adopted a policy Wednesday that says the county will ``abstain from acknowledging, promoting and participating'' in gay pride recognition or events.
The commission's directive, approved with little discussion and opposed only by Commissioner Kathy Castor, prompted confusion and anger. County attorneys said they were unsure how to interpret the policy. Civil rights and gay rights activists threatened a lawsuit.

Wow. Right in my own backyard. I am really starting to hate what this country is becoming.
