[Deleted part. filemanager@qrd.org] Board members agreed that all people should be free from harassment and discrimination, but ssome said they could not vote for making sexual orientation a protected class before the city, sate and federal governments do so. Board member Jim Heter said homosexuality and race should not be lumped into the same protected class. "The color of a person's skin cannot be hidden. You cannot come out of the closet with that. You cannot use that when it is an advantage and hide it when it is not," he said. At one point, he said, "I do not want us to become known as the 'gay and lesbian district' across the state."
