Can we build a wall around you, and then use it as a target for a bunker busting bomb?

In 1993, Cincinnati became the only U.S. city — then or since — to pass a charter amendment that banned enactment or enforcement of laws based on sexual orientation. This came about after Cincinnati's City Council passed a human rights ordinance that made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of characteristics such as race, gender, age, religion, disability, Appalachian origin, or sexual orientation. (With the exception of Appalachian origin, such ordinances are common in most large cities.) The people of Cincinnati (or at least 63 percent of those who voted in favor of the "no special protection for gays" measure in 1993), chose to override their City Council on this decision, at least as far as homosexuals were concerned, by exempting those who might lay claim to having been discriminated against on the basis of sexual orientation from protection under than ordinance. To do so, they amended the city charter to include Article XII, which declares that "no special class status may be granted based upon sexual orientation, conduct or relationships."

Procter & Gamble positions itself as being against all forms of discrimination, which means if the 1993 amendment had excluded age or race or religion from the list of protected characteristics, it would now be in this same fight for the same amount. That the characteristic is homosexuality is unimportant to P&G; what matters is the underlying concept.
