Proposal:
It is proposed that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance which would amend
Chapter 17 "Human Relations" of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, Texas (1986) as
001, amended providing for the addition of sexual orientation.
Discussion:
The City of Fort Worth has declared it to be public policy that all of its residents and
persons subject to its jurisdiction should enjoy equal freedom to pursue their aspirations
and that discrimination against any individual or group because of race, creed, color, sex,
op" religion, disability, national origin, and familial status is detrimental to the peace,
progress and welfare of the City. During the past few years, a lot of discussion has taken
place as to whether sexual orientation should be added to the City's non-discrimination
public policy.
Sexual orientation should not be a factor in determining a person's employment, housing
status, or ability to access public accommodations. The proposed ordinance would add
sexual orientation to the City's non-discrimination public policy.
Legality: The Department of Law finds that this proposal is legal and within the
authority of the City Council.
