The Birmingham City Council failed to pass a resolution to join a growing number of communities designated as “inclusive communities” by the National League of Cities. Birmingham has re-established itself as a leader in intolerance, exclusion, bigotry and hatred by failing to pass the resolution that would declare that gay people deserve equal status in our community.
Miriam Witherspoon, Roderick Royal, Joel Montgomery and Steven Hoyt, all of whom voted against the resolution, need to be replaced on the city council.
Please contact these council members to let them know how you feel about their vote.
