The Oakland Park, Fla., City Commission unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday calling on President Obama and Congressional leaders to end the ban on openly gay servicemembers. The resolution was sponsored by Commissioner Anthony Niedwiecki, the city’s only openly gay official and a former Victory Fund endorsee.
Niedwiecki worked with the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER), Fight OUT Loud and other organizations to compose the resolution. Its passage is part of a nationwide grassroots effort, organized by SLDN, to get local governments to pass legislation advocating for the repeal of the policy. “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” has led to the discharge of more than 200 openly gay servicemembers since President Obama took office in January.
“I am so proud of my city and my fellow commissioners in Oakland Park for passing this resolution,” said Niedwiecki. “Fighting for the equality of our citizens, supporting strong national security, and making sure everyone has the freedom to serve our country openly and honestly, without fear of discrimination or harassment, are important values for Oakland Park.”
The full text of Niedwiecki’s resolution can be found here.
This effort is one of many that Niedwiecki has championed in Oakland Park since his election earlier this year, including the city’s very first pride month proclamation, the addition of non-discrimination policies added to city contracts, and the first LGBT pride event for the Florida city.
While three openly gay Tory MPs currently serve in the British Parliament, the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party may soon triple their number of out officials. According to research conducted by ConservativeHome, a conservative UK blog, the party could elect up to seven new openly gay Members of Parliament.
The poll researched candidates for the top 200 target seats that were held by the Tories. Of those currently held, seven named candidates are openly gay, according to Pinknews. The seven candidates are:
Stuart Andrew (Pudsey)
Nick Boles (Grantham and Stamford)
Mike Freer (Finchley and Golders Green)
David Gold (Eltham)
Margot James (Stourbridge)
Nick King (Dorset Mid and Poole North)
Iain Stewart (Milton Keynes South)
“It provoked much comment when David Gold became the first ever openly gay Conservative candidate when he unsuccessfully stood in Brighton Pavilion in 2001…” said Jonathan Isaby, an editor of ConservativeHome. “These figures are a clear sign of how attitudes have changed in the Conservative Party in recent years.”
Currently, Alan Duncan, Nick Herbert, and Gregory Barker are the only openly gay Tory members of parliament.
The Department of Justice Tuesday let a deadline pass to appeal a 2005 judgment involving a transgender female who lost a job offer at the Library of Congress while transitioning from male to female. The decision awarded Diane Schroer, a retired Army Special Forces commander, $491,190 in compensation after a job offer was rescinded once she told Library of Congress officials she was transitioning from male to female.
In 2005 the American Civil Liberties Union defended Schroer, arguing the government was guilty of sex discrimination, and citing the Civil Rights Act of 1965. The Bush Administration had unsuccessfully argued against any claim of discrimination, saying that transsexuality was not covered under the law.
This decision fits President Obama’s promise to protect transgender federal workers from discrimination in the workplace, according to the ACLU, and comes at a time when Obama has been criticized as not being aggressive enough on LGBT issues. To Schroer, the decision, “gives me renewed hope and restores some of my shaken faith in what our country stands for,” she told the New York Times.
Congressman Barney Frank introduced a trans-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act last week.
