On Wed., Nov. 28, at City Hall, 121 N. LaSalle St., room 200, the Committee on Human Relations will hold a meeting.
Ald. Tom Tunney and the rest of the LGBT Caucus ( Alds. James Cappleman, Deb Mell, Carlos Ramirez-Rosa and Raymond Lopez ) have introduced a resolution that calls for President Trump and the Department of Health and Human Services to cease attempts to define gender that excludes transgender identity.
The committee will vote after hearing testimony and, at the next City Council meeting on Wed., Dec 12, it will make a recommendation to the full City Council. |
