What an amazing night. how refreshing it was to see a room packed full of people in a municipal building. I have to admit it was by far they longest meeting i have ever been to but damn was it worth it. With great excitement and pride i am happy to say that the city council has unanimously overturned they mayors veto and passed they anti-discrimination ordinance protecting gay and transgendered people fro discrimination is the workplace and in housing.

A big thank you to PRIDE in Utah and everyone who spread they word about this very important issue and rallied together to support our community. A big thank you to the city council members for all of your hard work and for sticking through this meeting and making the right and just decision. Be sure to write they city council and thank them for passing this monumental ordinance and making Ogden the 12th city in Utah to pass the anti-discrimination ordinance.

  Yay! Congrats. It's so nice to see people come together like that to support their own. Love it.

BTW, I'm trying to put together a Blogger Get-Together in Ogden, but since I'm in Logan, I don't have the slightest idea of where to do it at. I've had suggestions to do it someplace on 25th, but I don't know! Haha... Could you give me some suggestions?? I'm thinking around the second weekend in April.

Thanks!!
