Tell Mesa City Council to Vote NO on Unnecessary Gender Identity Resolution

UPDATE: The Mesa City Council did not pass the extreme resolution last night. However, the council appears determined to do so in the near future. WRITE TO THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL IMMEDIATELY TO EXPRESS YOUR OPPOSITION. THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES ARE LISTED BELOW.Dear Mayor and council members:We are strongly opposed to the proposal known as:NEW MESA CITY CODE TITLE 6, CHAPTER 14 "PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION, EMPLOYMENT, AND HOUSING ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, ETHNICITY, NATIONAL ORIGIN, AGE, DISABILITY, RELIGION, SEX, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY AND EXPRESSION, VETERANS' STATUS, MARITAL STATUS, GENETIC INFORMATION, AND FAMILIAL STATUS" AND ESTABLISHING PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS THEREOF.The sections that are most objectionable are those pertaining to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.This proposal will create more problems than it will solve and is totally unneeded.Sexual orientation is not an immutable trait, such as race. There is no comparison between the two.Gender identity and expression is an indication of psychological problems. It is not an immutable trait.Once you open this Pandora’s box, you will subject well-meaning, law abiding citizens to unreasonable penalties and punishments.It is no wonder that Scottsdale and Fountain Hills have both recently defeated such measures and that Springfield, Missouri, Charlotte, N.C. and Fayetteville, Arkansas also rightly rejected these unnecessary and problematic resolutions, which are pushed by far-left radicals upon unassuming communities.A few years ago, we warned members of the Mesa council that radical homosexual activists were urging political activists to move to the East Valley to enact extreme social change which is at odds with the strong family-oriented characteristics of Mesa and Gilbert. Most of the council members responded to that they were not going to allow this to happen.We are asking you again to not let this happen. We do not have the types of problems in Mesa requiring this sort of radical legislation on the part of our city leaders. We must respect free speech and religious liberty -- the First Amendment -- before we ever consider any type of "sexual liberty" proposed by leftists.Please vote NO on Thursday.Thank you.The Arizona ConservativeLend your voice to opposing this radical proposal.
