PHOENIX — The city of Glendale has voted to approve a non-discrimination ordinance, becoming the ninth city in Arizona to provide protections to LGBTQ families and other groups, officials announced.
The Glendale City Council unanimously approved the ordinance on Tuesday protecting residents from discrimination in housing, employment and places of public accommodations based on various factors, including race, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity.
“Adopting a non-discrimination ordinance that is inclusive of all people, including LGBTQ people, is not only the right thing to do, but positions Glendale to succeed,” Robert Heidt, president and CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, said in a press release.
“As a city, Glendale must leverage the same competitive advantages that inclusivity provides to our neighboring cities to attract the top talent, business, and events we need to thrive.”
There is no state law barring discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing or public accommodations.
