Anti-Gay Group Gives Up in Cincinnati Battle

Andy Towle August 16, 2006

Gays and lesbians in Cincinnati, Ohio have won a 14-year battle that will offer them protection against discrimination for the first time since 1992.

Cin_2“Equal Rights Not Special Rights, a group involved in a petition drive to force a referendum on whether gays should be protected against discrimination in employment and housing under the city's Human Rights Ordinance, withdrew its petitions Tuesday and requested that the referendum not be placed on the ballot in November, or in any future election.”

The anti-gay group gave up its drive to get the referendum on the ballot after its chairman discovered that up to 1,300 of the signatures collected in support of it would be challenged as forgeries, or as altered by those who gathered the signatures.

The list of questionable signatures included that of Cuban President Fidel Castro.
