The San Antonio City Council is proposing an updated non-discrimination policy that effectively bans any city council member from being elected if he or she has ever “demonstrated a bias.”
“No person shall be appointed to a position if the city council finds that such person has, prior to such proposed appointment, engaged in discrimination or demonstrated a bias, by word or deed, against any person, group or organization on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sɛҳuąƖ orientation, gender identity, veteran status, age, or disability,” the ordinance reads.
According to Pastor Charles Flowers of Faith Outreach International, the amended ordinance includes two new categories to the policy: sɛҳuąƖ orientation and gender identity. Judging by the vague language of the draft, the ordinance could effectively ban Christians, many of whom believe ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity is a sin, from serving on the city council if they have expressed that belief publicly.
