SB 2278 Press Round-Up
May 6, 2009 by admin
In the 2009 legislative session, the North Dakota Human Rights Coalition worked with legislators and many individuals and advocacy groups to pass a bill that would have added sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classes in North Dakota.
The bill, SB 2278, ultimately failed in the House in early April. However the public and institutional support was strong enough that we remain optimistic for GLBT equality in North Dakota.
The bill also garnered a lot of media attention, becoming one of the most talked-about legislative topics of the entire session. From the four simultaneous press conferences annoncing the bill to editorials, op-eds and letters from all sides, the print press is collected in a single PDF.
A special thanks to Fair Housing of the Dakotas for compiling the document, and for working with NDHRC to pass SB 2278.
