(COLUMBUS) - Another Indiana city could approve civil rights protections for gays and lesbians this evening.
The Columbus City Council is scheduled to take a final vote tonight on a law that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It's expected to pass, as the all-Republican council unanimously supported moving the measure forward at its last meeting two weeks ago.
If it is approved, Columbus would be the fifth city and sixth local government to approve such a law - the others are Indianapolis-Marion County, Bloomington, Evansville, South Bend and Monroe County.
