LGBT Rights Resolution

Posted on April 22, 2016

DMO Resolution on LGBT Rights

DMO supports the dignity and rights of all LGBT individuals to full participation in civic, community, and economic endeavors, and to freedom from discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, and civil rights.

DMO encourages cities and towns, municipal leaders in general and DMOs in particular

  • To advocate for the dignity and civil rights of our LGBT citizens and residents;
  • To support laws and educational efforts involving them fully in our communities and protecting them from discrimination; and
  • To actively oppose state-level efforts to pre-empt local initiatives in this area.

DMO encourages its members and supporters to consider adopting concrete local efforts in this area such as those discussed in the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index: http://www.hrc.org/campaigns/municipal-equality-index.

DMO calls attention to, and supports, the national Democratic Party platform plank which reads, “[N]o one should face discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability status.”
