Minneapolis city council votes to outlaw discrimination based on weight, height, other factors.
Having solved all of the city’s other pressing programs, the city council turns to more tertiary concerns.
Deena Winter of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports,
The Minneapolis City Council voted 13-0 Thursday to expand civil rights protections, barring discrimination against people on the basis of their height and weight, housing status or because they were formerly incarcerated.
Winter goes through each factor and names the other cities that protect those groups. Including this,
During a public hearing last week on the proposal, Tigress Osborn, executive director of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance, said only two states and seven cities have any protections against size discrimination.
The jokes write themselves. I await the inevitable article in the Daily Mail and/or NY Post.
