29th Pennsylvania Municipality Passes LGBT Nondiscrimination Protections | Last night, the commissioners in Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania passed an ordinance that bans discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Though such protections are not guaranteed across all of the commonwealth, municipalities have been increasingly creating the protections to compensate. Upper Merion represents the 29th city, borough, or township in PA to take the admirable step of protecting its LGBT citizens. (HT: Equality Pennsylvania.)
