Duluth councilors discussed a wide range of topics on Monday night. Among them was whether to establish a commission to meet the needs of the LGBT community.
Community members who spoke out at Monday night's council meeting expressed their support for the LGBTQ+ commission, and for councilors putting forward the initiative.
"This commission is an essential resource not only to city staff, but also to our community in forming a better, brighter future for queer, trans and two spirit youth locally," said Courtney Cochran of Duluth.

The goal of the commission is to advise the mayor, city council, city departments, and community at large about issues of concern affecting non-binary and binary queer, trans, two spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, intersex, and asexual communities.
