A central Pennsylvania borough became a hotbed of conservative activism after the local council passed a nondiscrimination ordinance that included LGBTQ people. After a heated election, a group of Trumpers gained the majority of seats on the council.
And the first thing they want to do is to repeal the ordinance, specifically to remove the protections for LGBTQ people.
The Chambersburg Borough Council passed the ordinance four months ago. The current council plans to vote for repeal today.
I dont know of any reasons for repealing it other than a political move, Alice Elia, a Democrat and the former Chambersburg borough council president, said. This issue should not be politicized. Its an issue of justice and having equal protection for everybody in our community. It shouldnt be a political or a Democratic or Republican issue. This should be something we are all concerned about.
