DULUTH – Almost a year after the City Council approved a conversion therapy ban, officials are proposing an ordinance that would give LGBT residents a louder voice in local government.
Duluth council members will introduce plans for a Nonbinary, Queer, Trans, Two Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Intersex and Asexual Commission at their Monday meeting. The proposed group, referred to as the LGBT+ Commission for short, would serve as an advisory entity for city staff and elected leaders.
The seven-member commission would also weigh in on complaints to the city s Office of Human Rights related to sexual orientation and gender expression.
