Stanton requests a public hearing

Steve(Susan) Stanton, the beleaguered Largo, Florida, city manager who has been dismissed simply for revealing his desire to change his gender, has decided to appeal the dismissal and is calling for a public hearing into the matter. This is good. He has a lot of support, there are plenty of people who think the city commission acted rashly and with a horrid display of bigotry and discrimination. This represents the next step in the process. Let's hope the voices of inclusion, reason, and calm win out over the voices of hatred, fear, and misunderstanding.

Yes, let's hope so. I do think that Stanton has a heck of a lawsuit. My analysis of the law is on my blog at http://jweissdiary.blogspot.com
