LIVE VIDEO: Plano City Council Debates Proposed LGBT Rights Ordinance
UPDATE: Bill Passes By 5-3 Vote!!!
Some business appears to be going on at this writing, but the official start time for the meeting is 7PM Central. Earlier today anti-gay groups called for opponents to the bill to crowd the chamber. It's not clear if a vote will be taken tonight. Watch the live-stream here.
UPDATE: The session was opened with a performance by the Men Of Note chorus, which somehow is not a gay group.
UPDATE II: The Plano City Council has voted to APPROVE the LGBT rights bill!
UPDATE III: Tonight's victory was brought to you in no small part by Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere, who just took office last May. Tweet him your thanks @PlanosMayor, leave a message on Facebook, or email him at mayor@plano.gov.
