WNMU-FM reports that Marquette has adopted a new anti-discrimination ordinance which states employers, landlords and others cannot discriminate against anyone based on their race, sexual orientation, gender or religion.
"It shows that we are open here," said mayor pro-tem, Sarah Reynolds. "I think Marquette has always been kind of an open society, and we tend to accept most people in our group. But it also shows that you can come here, we will accept you and you don't have to worry about being judged for who you are."
The City Commission passed the ordinance unanimously Dec. 14. It's the first of its kind to be adopted in the Upper Peninsula.
