The Phoenix, AZ <http://www.lgbtqnation.com/tag/phoenix/> City Council on
Tuesday evening approved a measure to expand the city’s anti-discrimination
law to include protections for gays, lesbians,bisexuals and transgender people in city contracts, housing, employment and public accommodations such as restaurants.

After more than five hours of heated debate, council members ultimately
approved the change by a vote of 5-3, with the majority saying Phoenix
would benefit from projecting an image that it welcomes diversity.

LGBT advocates said the move was a long time coming.

They said Phoenix, the sixth-largest city in the country, is playing catch
“catch-up” with at least 166 other U.S. cities and counties that have
adopted similar laws.
