The Dallas City Council adopted an ordinance banning discrimination against gays and lesbians.
The measure, approved 13 to 2, outlaws discrimination in employment, housing and in public places such as hotels and restaurants. It sets fines of up to $500, but it exempts businesses with less than 15 workers.
“Let us walk out of the shadow of intolerance and bigotry and into the sunshine of human rights,” Councilman John Loza said.
