Commissioner Andrus,
Thank you for taking some time to talk the other day about the push for a
nondiscrimination ordinance that protects all LGBT folks in Bozeman and for
attending the ice cream social. What a fun event. I still can't believe that we ran out
Of 1,500 scoops of ice cream! It was great to see you there!
Niki Zupanic is the ACLU of Montana's Public Policy Director and is an incredible
resource for legal questions around the nondiscrimination ordinances in Helena and
Missoula. She was directly involved in the drafting process for both of the ordinances
currently on the books in Montana and has worked closely with both city attorneys
in Helena and Missoula during the campaigns. She has also worked closely,"ith my
organization on statewide nondiscrimination efforts for three legislative sessions and
understands how these ordinances fit into that work.
Niki, I know Wednesday is not a good day for you next week and that you're based in
Helena, so you'll need to plan for some travel time. I figured this cc'd message would
be a good way to figure out a time to sit down and meet — hopefully in person — to
talk more in-depth about what we want to see implemented in Bozeman and help
answer any legal questions you have.

Date: Wednesday,April 30,2014 3:49:10 PM
Stacey:
Thanks for your comments at the hearing and also for the thought and care you put into this message
as well.
I do support an NDO, as you noted, and will vote for the ordinance when the commission considers it in
two weeks. I am mulling over one portion, the extent of the commerce clause and how it would work,
and what it would mean for all residents.
I fully hear your point about how employment and housing concerns are more likely to be presented as
public comments to the commission at this time; and I appreciate your example of the Woolworth's in
terms of history and its broader application to Bozeman. And I agree that access to commercial life is
central to anyone, and should be a "given" in terms of the rights of a citizen. I also agree with retired
Montana Justice Nelson, who recently wrote in an op-ed that ran across Montana: "The state cannot
deny a minority of citizens the rights and obligations of generally applicable laws because someone's
personal religious beliefs are offended." And I further agree with US Justice Scalia who wrote in 1990
that: "Decisions have consistently held that the right of free exercise does not relieve an individual of
the obligation to comply with a valid and neutral law of general applicability on the ground that the law
proscribes that his religion prescribes."
Scalia's ruling is one of the reasons I made sure in my remarks from the dais to talk about the
importance of "a valid and neutral law of general applicability" to protect LGBT who live in or visit
Bozeman. And I do not, and will not, support efforts to have Bozeman adopt a version of a Religious
Freedom Restoration Act. I appreciate the examples you gave, and have others of my own, about the
potential, and wrong, implications of such an Act, however well intended.
So, as you graciously put it in your email, I'm concerned about the details of this section--the clash of
rights; or as one Supreme Court Justice once put it: "the right to swing my arm ends at your nose." I
have religious beliefs, and also have very strong beliefs about the importance of equality and of civil
rights. Both of these beliefs are widely held in our community, and they will continue to be a part of
the public sphere. In the end, I appreciate that the two rights--in this case civil and religious--must
somehow be reconciled into one law that governs us as a community, and your points are helping me
think this through. Thank you again for commenting, and also your patience, as we work to accomplish
this, and in the best way possible. I know and appreciate that it's been a long wait, but I am hopeful
we'll make the right and best decisions.

Subject: NDO hearing
Commissioner Mehl,
Thank you for your support of a Non-Discrimination Ordinance. I appreciate your thoughtful comments
during the 4/28/14 hearing.
I want to follow up with you about your concerns about Commerce. Perhaps we members of the LGBT
community have not testified directly about commerce because our lives are not yet that safe. When we
are struggling with job and housing discrimination, not being able to sit at the Woolworth's counter is
not our most pressing issue. Access to commercial life is, however, central to full citizenship. I do
encourage you to include Commerce in the NDO. This argument we hear from the far right that men of
conscious or faith should not be forced by their government to interact with people their faith condemns
just doesn't work for democracy. Substitute "Indian" or"Black" or "Woman" with "Gay" and the bigotry
becomes clear. (And having founded the Gallatin Human Rights Task Force and served on the Board of
the Montana Human Rights Network, I can assure you that there are religions in Montana that combine
even white supremacy with Christianity.) Deeply held religious beliefs can still be discriminatory and do
not belong in the public sphere. We have laws that say, if you are opening your door to commerce, you
have to serve all races/religions/genders. The NDO should add LGBT people to that list.
Thank you again for your consideration and support. And thank you for all your work on behalf of this
community. Whenever I attend a City Commission meeting I am reminded of the sheer endurance
needed in a participatory government. I hope that issues like the NDO, adding parks to our city, or
dedicating a new library balance out the hours you have to devote to dog poop and construction
variances.

Dear sirs and madams,
Apologies that I could not voice my support of the Non-Discrimination Ordinance in

I support the ordinance because it is fair, and does not limit the choice of
individuals in our community. What is not fair is judging people based on their
dress, or sexual orientation. This is exactly what the NDO's opposition is asking
for: the right to lazily use their prejudice to discriminate freely.
Recent reports in the Chronicle show that some community members in opposition
to the NDO are using religious rhetoric to trump up their stance—invoking God to
create stable footing for fragile reason. Don't be fooled by this. This is nothing
more than a crass exercise in appealing to a higher authority rather than offering
any good reason to oppose the measure. It's a manipulative move, and I find it
very sad.
Are there not usually a myriad of reasons to not rent to someone? To not hire
someone? Why rely on such a meaningless aspect of someone such as who they
love?
I admire the work done to create a fair ordinance that respects all individuals in

Bozeman is a great place, and by passing this ordinance you will show exaclty why

I've reviewed the draft ordinance again, and I don't have any major concerns. I'm cognizant that there
are those who predict that such an ordinance may lose Bozeman a few businesses, but I think that
there are also businesses who will value it, possibly even be attracted because of it. I don't think the
economic impact can be very reliably predicted either way, so maybe that line of argument should not
carry much weight. I do appreciate that there may be legal nuances to be explored.
I respect and admire the seriousness and patience with which all of you commissioners are considering

Subject: NDO
Dear City Commissioners and Mayor Krauss --
Getting repeated communications from a single citizen can become, well, repetitive. I am
guilty of being one of those pestering citizens, I know.
1 apologize for depending so greatly on your patience and promise that this will be my last
communication to you regarding the NDO.
Good luck with all!
Here is the testimony--
Dear Mayor and City Commissioners:
The laws that guide our country include both free exercise of religion and equal protection for
all citizens. People identifying as LGBTQ, who are often discriminated against, deserve equal
protection under our laws.
Protecting the rights of LGBTQ persons in Bozeman would not be a problem were it not for
some religious people who claim that LGBTQ persons are sinful. And were it not for the First
Amendment's free exercise clause,their claim to a right to discriminate against LGBTQ
persons would not be taken seriously.
Take away the religious justification from their argument and what remains? People stating
that they do not want to treat other citizens as equals because they don't approve of the way
others live. This is not a sufficient reason.
Remember, LGBTQ persons are not breaking any laws in identifying and acting as LGBTQ
persons. They are pursuing their happiness as they see fit. No harm comes from them
thinking of themselves as they do and no harm comes from their lawful actions.
The religious objectors to this ordinance, however, cannot say the same. Yes,they are free
absolutely to have beliefs about sin. That is religious freedom. But when they enter civil,
secular society and act on beliefs by denying services, housing, and employment to persons
they deem sinful, they are going too far.
There is a bright line between thought and action. Everybody knows this. While our thoughts
may be wicked, we cannot be accused of a crime in thinking them, so long as our actions
conform to the laws. To me, this is a good standard to apply when considering the limits on
religious exercise.
Free exercise of religion means we get to believe whatever we want, and conduct all our
church business as we see fit under the roof of our church. But in public life, in housing and
employment and retail services, for example, the freedom to act on our religious convictions
meets its limits. In public life, religious people just like the rest of us--must act to respect
others' rights.
I have no doubt it is difficult for religious persons to refrain from acting on their deeply held,
sincere religious beliefs. But religious persons would not be the only individuals facing this
difficulty should you pass the ordinance. Adopting an NDO that included religious
organizations would ask no more of religious objectors in our community than it would of
non-religious persons who are deeply committed to similar views yet do not describe them in
religious language. In fact, it would impose the same hardship on both groups.
Stated differently, an ordinance with a religious exemption would ask nothing of religious
objectors while demanding compliance from equally sincere but non-religious objectors.
Where is the justification for this differential treatment of individuals' consciences? It seems
unreasonable to believe that non-religious persons' consciences are of less importance to
themselves than are religious persons' consciences to themselves. But exempting the
conscientious objections of only religious persons would establish just such a double
standard.
Privileging the religious conscience is going farther than respecting the right to practice a
religion. Granting such a privilege would establish a separate law for religious persons,
essentially creating a separate moral code, out of respect for their sectarian views.
Ironically, the exemption for religious organizations would establish a lower code of morality
for these organizations than what is written in the NDO and that the rest of our community
would follow. The exemption amounts to removing the Golden Rule—''Do unto others"
from the conduct of certain religious organizations. The Golden Rule is a moral teaching
found in every continent on Earth because it embodies a transcendental moral principle.
In our secular society, we should try to establish laws around moral codes that can make a
claim to universality. Certainly, when drafting laws that influence public morality, we should
refrain from writing separate laws for separate elements of society. But that, in fact, is what a
religious exemption in the NDO does--for what, in the end, is the difference between
immunizing a sect from a non-discrimination law and giving preeminence to the sect over the
law?
And isn't giving preeminence the same, or nearly so, as "establishing'' a religion? In laying
out the case this way, I am trying to show the tendentious quality in our current legal
thinking on religious freedom. There is a "kid gloves"approach to religious freedom, a
reluctance to challenge the over-reaching position taken by certain sects, and a blurriness
where reasonable people might agree a bright line should be drawn.
Whatever your thoughts on my logic might be, I hope that you can agree that there is at least
reason to doubt the legitimacy of a religious exemption to the NDO. Please pass an ordinance
that includes all citizens in its reach.

Dear friends,
The Power of We is a three year old coalition of Congregation Beth
Shalom, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, and Pilgrim Congregational

(in the Fall usually), and we work together on social justice issues. Until
now, the social justice emphasis has mostly been confined to annual
educational forums, which most of you know about. In addition, we
sometimes partner with other religious groups on particular projects.
At a meeting this morning, we decided that we would like to be out front
as a face of religion that is not being heard as clearly as it might in
connection with the non-discrimination ordinance. To our friends at the
Epsicopal and Presbyterian churches who are in this loop, we invite you
to join Power of We on this project.
We know that some people who claim to be religious have spoken
forcefully against the ordinance and in favor of discrimination and
homophobia. We would like to be out front to balance and counter that
"religious" view. Although some of us in this e-mail loop have signed
petitions and spoken at various events, we would like to take this up a
notch, including more public presence and mobilizing our respective
congregations to support the ordinance,
We realize that Jamee and Ron have been doing work on this issue for a

and that Carson is deeply involved as a commissioner. We would like
your opinions on how we can work with you to most effectively advance

Thanks for being in touch. I appreciate your support for a possible non-discrimination ordinance.
As you probably know, on February loth the commission set priorities for the coming year on a variety
of things: roads, police, pool, etc. We also discussed non-discrimination as we've been hearing from a
great number of residents (with a great variety of viewpoints). The commission agreed that Mayor
Krauss and Deputy-Mayor Taylor would sit down with a number of folks to see if there's the possibility
of an action that meets the needs/concerns of all sides while meeting the test of being good for our

Dear worthy Commissioners,
The more I think about it the more convinced I am that our city needs a non-discrimination ordinance to
protect our citizens from the likes of the "Christians" in this valley.
The "Christians" homophobia, intolerance, and bigotry came through loud and clear at their public input
at the re-zoning hearing meeting of Feb. 24th.
Perhaps these "Christians" would have gays, atheists, Muslims, wear armbands to identify themselves.
I hope you will recognize this group to be in the category of the Westboro Baptist Church.
Scary, how persecution can be justified by religion freedom!
No place for that in our city.

Jeff,
Very cool. Mike read this also and likes it. I summarized our conversation and he had an idea. What do
you think about me and/or Mike approach the MHRN people (most likely Jamee), and tell them you will
pass a non-discrimination ordinance with these objectives:
1. Craft an ordinance that is unique to Bozeman
2. Be enforceable
3. Have it done in a low key manner.
Mike said we could mention your determination in getting it passed using your political prowess to get
things done with bipartisan action. Let me know if you want us to do that. Also let me know if you want
other subtle comments dropped like "Jeff fucking hates MHRN pricks". Ha ha just kidding.

Subject: Non-discrimination ordinance, support and perspective
Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
As Bozeman decides whether to begin the process of working on an ordinance that protects against
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, I would like to share my
experience as the main proponent of the Helena non-discrimination ordinance, which was enacted in
2012. I recognize that you may perceive my email as another city official meddling in Bozeman's
business, but this is not my intent. I believe that I have an important perspective to share, because I
think Helena's situation shares some similarities with Bozeman.
I have been disheartened, yet not surprised, at the tenor of the opposition in Bozeman. During the
year-long process of passing Helena's non-discrimination ordinance, we also received vitriolic
opposition. We also received letters and testimony referring to LGBT people as perverts, sexual
predators, deviants, and pedophiles. I received personal attacks as well, including name-calling and
accusations of wasting city time and resources.
However, amongst residents within the city limits(and I suspect Bozeman will be similar), the support
far outweighed the opposition. In addition to all of the testimony, petitions, and letters of support, I
cannot count the number of LGBT people who came up to me during and after passage, and thanked
and hugged me, often crying. During the process, we heard many stories of discrimination, including
one woman who lived in fear for years of being outed at work, because of a stand she took against an
unethical action. One email I received after the ordinance passed still resonates with me: "As a middle-
aged gay man making peace with my experiences growing up as an outsider in a small town, I am so
grateful for what this ordinance means as an expression of acceptance for my basic humanity. To me,
just the simple fact that this ordinance and all its related issues were discussed openly in a public forum
was such a real joy to me. That it formalized a measure of acceptance and and acknowlegdement of
due respect was just so fantastic. It made me feel welcome in this community."
And ultimately, that is what you are doing by passing a non-discrimination ordinance. In addition to
providing legal recourse so that everyone has a safe place to live, work, and play, you are recognizing
the human dignity of being LGBT. The city is saying, being LGBT is a beautiful and valid part of the
human condition. You are welcome and accepted. This statement, in addition to the legal protections,
can make LGBT people, especially LGBT teens (who often are isolated and bullied) feel less alone, and
less likely to engage in self-harm.
So I urge you to stay strong, and not be swayed by those who advocate discrimination and exclusion.
It is hard to receive correspondence with venomous language, and hard to face a roomful of people,
many of whom vehemently disagree with you. In the face of such attacks, it can be tempting to avoid
the topic, or perhaps put off such an ordinance as"not really necessary," because the LGBT community
has not proven that discrimination occurs. (Note that the language used by the opposition actually
demonstrates the discriminatory attitudes that are present in the community, and the necessity for such
an ordinance.) Finally, part of the role of government is to protect the vulnerable among us, and
passage of an ordinance that protects against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and
gender identity, does just that. I hope you will consider joining Helena (and Missoula and Butte) in
providing such protections.
Take care,
Katherine Haque-Hausrath

Rabbi,
This makes me very happy to read. I would like to be at this meeting, and am
wondering if we can connect on the phone on Friday to talk about our faith list. We
have a good number of faith leaders who have signed on in support of the
nondiscrimination ordinance and this is the sort of opportunity that might make
sense to bring people in.
I am at a rewarding and demanding LGBT leadership conference this week and out
of town (and with limited access to technology and cell service).
Do you have time to talk on Friday afternoon or this weekend?
Thank you for leading on this and for your service in my hometown. We are better
and stronger because of you.

Dear friends,
The Power of We is a three year old coalition of Congregation Beth
Shalom, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, and Pilgrim Congregational
Church. Each year, we do an adult ed class. bring in a spiritual master
(in the Fall usually), and we work together on social justice issues. Until
now, the social justice emphasis has mostly been confined to annual
educational forums, which most of you know about. In addition, we
sometimes partner with other religious groups on particular projects.
At a meeting this morning, we decided that we would like to be out front
as a face of religion that is not being heard as clearly as it might in
connection with the non-discrimination ordinance. To our friends at the
Epsicopal and Presbyterian churches who are in this loop, we invite you
to join Power of We on this project.
We know that some people who claim to be religious have spoken
forcefully against the ordinance and in favor of discrimination and
homophobia. We would like to be out front to balance and counter that
"religious" view. Although some of us in this e-mail loop have signed
petitions and spoken at various events, we would like to take this up a
notch, including more public presence and mobilizing our respective
congregations to support the ordinance,
We realize that Jamee and Ron have been doing work on this issue for a
while now in the human rights and business communities, respectively,
and that Carson is deeply involved as a commissioner. We would like
your opinions on how we can work with you to most effectively advance
the religious agenda on this issue. In that regard, i invite you all to a
meeting next Wednesday morning, March 12 at 9:00 am at Pilgrim
Church where we can discuss our more direct and expllcit involvement
and how we can be most effective.
Thanks so much,

I wanted you to be aware of the fact that a similar public records request related to

we can get the job done saving you money and us time.

Strong communities take care of their neighbors.
Bozeman is that kind of community. Passing an ordinance to protect people
from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity
just makes sense. Our gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender neighbors
deserve to be able to work, live and do business in Bozeman.
The nondiscrimination ordinance would prohibit discrimination against LGBT
people in employment, housing and public accommodations.
Everyone needs to have the ability to earn money to put a roof over their
loved ones' heads and food on the table.
Bozeman residents value fairness and equality. We know that our strength
as a community is based upon treating each other with dignity and respect.
This ordinance will match public policy to our community values.
The qualities of justice and fairness that brings us together are far
greater than what makes us different. This ordinance isn't only about
protecting our neighbors from experiencing discrimination. It's about
branding Bozeman as a welcoming and diverse community.
Please pass the nondiscrimination ordinance.

Bozeman is a large and very popular "college town"! In fact,
many of my friends and relatives have ever attended college there or
are currently students at MSU. Because of this, it is imperative that
the city of Bozeman be open to ANY and all types of people - regardless

disability, etc. It would be a Statewide disgrace for the city of
Bozeman to NOT pass this law.

Dear Mayor Krauss,
As a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign and equal rights for all
Bozeman residents, I am writing to urge you to pass the historic
nondiscrimination ordinance that would prohibit discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Missoula, Helena, and
Butte already have similar nondiscrimination laws, and now it's time

I am a native Montanan who has lived in our great state all of my 42
years, calling Bozeman home since 1989. I see no reason why anyone in
Bozeman should fear an NDO, but plenty of reasons why we should have
one. Our community has an opportunity to join other Montana
communities and lead on this issue by demonstrating that all are truly
welcome here.
Passing the NDO today will put our community at the leading edge of the
trajectory which ultimately leads to having true equality codified in
law at the state and federal level. That day is coming. The tide is
turning, and Bozeman has a choice to make: We can either become one of
the last hold-outs that gets dragged kicking and screaming into
recognizing and protecting the rights of ALL of our citizens, or we can
act now and take a stand for equality. Let's put Bozeman on the right
side of history.

It is hard to imagine that individuals in our own state and hometown
are deprived the basic rights of others. That citizens of Bozeman must
live with the fear of being Fred, removed from their home or refused
service simply on the basis of their sexual and/or gender identity.
Nothing about this legislation reduces the rights of others- as many
religious opponents would have you believe - but only helps ensure that
all within our state are granted the same civil liberties.

Dear Mayor Krauss,
As a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign and equal rights for all
Bozeman residents, I am writing to urge you to pass the historic
nondiscrimination ordinance that would prohibit discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Missoula, Helena, and
Butte already have similar nondiscrimination laws, and now it's time
for Bozeman to do the same and further equality across the Treasure
State.
All hardworking Bozemanites, including LGBT residents, should have the
opportunity to earn a living and provide for their families free from
discrimination. Please continue to work to ensure that this
nondiscrimination ordinance is passed; it's the right thing to do.

Dear Mayor Krauss,
As a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign and equal rights for all
Bozeman residents, I am writing to urge you to pass the historic
nondiscrimination ordinance that would prohibit discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Missoula, Helena, and
Butte already have similar nondiscrimination laws, and now it's time
for Bozeman to do the same and further equality across the Treasure
State.
All hardworking Bozemanites, including LGBT residents, should have the
opportunity to earn a living and provide for their families free from
discrimination. Please continue to work to ensure that this
nondiscrimination ordinance is passed; it's the right thing to do.
I often travel to Bozeman and frequent places of public accommodation,

Dear Mayor Krauss,
As a supporter of the Human Rights Campaign and equal rights for all
Bozeman residents, I am writing to urge you to pass the historic
nondiscrimination ordinance that would prohibit discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Missoula, Helena, and
Butte already have similar nondiscrimination laws, and now it's time
for Bozeman to do the same and further equality across the Treasure
State.
All hardworking Bozemanites, including LGBT residents, should have the
opportunity to earn a living and provide for their families free from
discrimination. Please continue to work to ensure that this
nondiscrimination ordinance is passed; it's the right thing to do.
I often travel to Bozeman and frequent places of public accommodation,

Bozeman residents, I am writing to urge you to pass the historic
nondiscrimination ordinance that would prohibit discrimination on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Missoula, Helena, and
Butte already have similar nondiscrimination laws, and now it's time
for Bozeman to do the same and further equality across the Treasure
State.
All hardworking Bozemanites, including LGBT residents, should have the
opportunity to earn a living and provide for their families free from
discrimination. Please continue to work to ensure that this
nondiscrimination ordinance is passed; it's the right thing to do.
I often travel to Bozeman and frequent places of public accommodation,
so I strongly advocate that the nondiscrimination ordinance provide the
broadest protections possible against discrimination. It is time for
the City of Bozeman to catch up to the 21st Century. Discrimination
hurts us all!

Dear Sean,
Our country has come a long way towards equality j
for all citizens, but there's much more to do. We l
need to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination
Act now.
f
Incredibly, it is perfectly legal under federal law to :•i
fire someone because of her sexual orientation.
i
Without a federal anti-discrimination law, LGBT
Americans in 29 states have no protection from
workplace harassment, being denied a promotion,
or losing their job.
t
Please sign our petition to demand that ME
Congress pass the bipartisan Employment
Non-Discrimination Act.
The Act is bipartisan, and it would ensure that
every American is judged on their job performance
1 - not prejudice. For years Congress has failed to
act, causing countless hardworking Americans to
lose their jobs just for being lesbian, gay, bisexual
I or transgender.
Discrimination in the workplace is just wrong.
Please sign our petition to demand that
Congress pass the bipartisan Employment i
Non-Discrimination Act.
I
Together, we can ensure equality for every citizen. I

Elizabeth:
Thanks for being in touch. I appreciate your support for a non-discrimination ordinance.
The City, as you know, already prohibits such discrimination internally and also by anyone that we do
business with (we require it in writing as part of any contract). We were the first city in Montana to do
this, and I understand your urging us to do more community-wide.
The issue is one of the Commission's priorities. On February 10th the commission set priorities for the
coming year on a variety of things: roads, police, pool, etc. We also discussed non-discrimination as
we've been hearing from a great number of residents (with a great variety of viewpoints). The
commission agreed that Mayor Krauss and Deputy-Mayor Taylor would sit down with a number of folks
to see if there's the possibility of an action that meets the needs/concerns of all sides while meeting the
test of being good for our overall community as well. I would expect that the points you raised, and
others, will be discussed.
These meetings probably will take some time, so please check in with me about updates or additional
thoughts you may have.

time to meet and chat.

I've also attached a white paper that was forwarded by Masen Davis, E.D.
of the Transgender Law Center, and copied to Ilona Turner:
Title VII and Transgender Employees: Top Five Questions
By Natalie F. Hrubos
20130312SHRMtransemployment.pdf
For an executive summary of the report by the The National Gay and
Lesbian Task Force and the National Center for Transgender Equality,
"Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender
Discrimination Survey, see--
http://transea uali .ora/PDFs/NTDS Exec Summary pdf
Once again,these statistics, based on a broad survey of over 6000
transgender and transsexual individuals, are stunning and
heartbreaking. For the complete report,see
http://www.thetaskforce,org/reports and research/ntds
For background on the defamation of Colleen Francis at Evergreen
College, in Washington state (slide 20 of my presentation), see--
htto://www.transadvocate,com/colleen-francis-and-the-infamous-ev rgreen-state-colle e-
incident_n 10765.htm
It was authored by blogger and investigative researcher Cristan
Williams, from Houston. She uses strong verbiage, but I've Found her
work to be thorough and reliable. She posts a direct phone interview
with Todd Sprague, the Executive Director of College Relations, who
stated:
"Unfortunately many news reports and online commentaries have chosen
to take a sensational, and often inaccurate, path in characterizing
what has and has not happened at Evergreen." He went on to clarify,
"On the occasion that sparked the media coverage, the individual in
question was using the sauna, an area generally off limits to swim
team members." Sprague also made it clear that this was "one incident
that occurred in September 2012, not multiple incidents" and that
Francis was "covered up with a towel on the way to the sauna and when
leaving it. "
As I understand the facts, Colleen and the College staff went to great
lengths to ensure both her privacy and dignity and the comfort of
other women using the athletic center. This is overwhelmingly typical
of the hundreds and hundreds of trans women and men I have met over
the years. In this case, two teenage girls from a swim team, using
another part of the facility, violated policy and went into an off
limits area to peek inside a private sauna to violate Colleen's
privacy and that of her cisgender female friend. They told a swim team
coach what they spied, who called the police,which was exploited by
an anti-gay political group (Alliance Defending Freedom for Faith and
Justice), which was sensationalized nationwide without fact-checking
by Fox News, and ultimately landed in your Council meeting.
The victim here was Colleen Francis.
Jane Doe, our teenage girl from Colorado, was falsely accused of
misconduct and "harassment" in a similar nationwide smear campaign,
involving another anti-gay political group, Fox News and the Christian
Broadcast Network. When they were caught in a deception, they had the
gall to change their story to claim that the very presence of this
young woman constituted criminal "harassment." As a consequence, she
was publicly threatened with violence and death and had to be placed
on a suicide watch.
Finally, for the extraordinary story of Pamela Raintree, a transgender
woman in Shreveport, La., who dared a Councilman to stone her to death
in a public hearing, see
http://www.advocate.com/ olitics/transaender/2014/01/17/tran -woman-dar s-bible-q intinn-

Please feel free to contact me any time, if I can answer any questions
or provide more information. Thank you so very much for listening to
my concerns.
Best regards,

Title VII and Transgender Employees: Top Five Questions
By Natalie F. Hrubos
3/12/2014
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(EEOC)has ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 bans discrimination based on transgender status. But what does this mean for employers?
Let's say you're the HR director of a large company, and an employee in the sales department meets
with you to discuss his her transition from man to woman. She explains that, starting next week, she
will use the name Megan(instead of her legal name, Ryan)and she will dress in feminine attire at work.
She asks that you talk with her supervisor, Kevin, about the transition and, in particular,her need to
take two weeks off from work next month for medical reasons related to the transition. "Megan"tells
you that she intends to use the women's restroom when she returns to work next week, but she is
concerned about how co-workers and customers will react.
Must Gender Transition Be Accommodated?
Under the EEOC's ruling, employers are obligated to avoid discriminating against, harassing and
retaliating against employees based on their gender identity or expression, change of sex and/or
transgender status.Therefore, at a minimum, it would be unlawful to terminate Megan's employment
because she is transgender.
Additionally, companies must treat a transgender employees the same as they would other employees in
comparable circumstances. For instance,if you would normally allow a non-transgender employee to
take a two-week leave of absence for medical reasons,then denying Megan's request for the same two-

09/04/2014 Gmail-SHRM Legal opinion-re Transgender Employees
week leave of absence for medical reasons related to her gender transition may be considered unlawful
discrimination.
Finally, fulfilling your company's obligation to maintain a workplace free of discrimination, harassment
and retaliation based on transgender status may mean you have to make certain adjustments or
accommodations that are not expressly required by law. Note, however,that applicable state and local
laws may expressly require a reasonable accommodation.
Should Other Employees Be Notified?
That depends on a variety of factors. Generally, deciding if, when and how to notify employees about a
co-worker's gender transition requires careful consideration of the dynamics and culture of the
workplace and the personal preferences and privacy concerns of the transitioning individual. There is
no one-size-fits-all approach.
In some cases it isn't necessary or appropriate to tell workers about a colleague's gender transition. In
others it is appropriate to meet with employees who are in regular contact with the transitioning
individual, to ensure that they are aware of, and will comply with, your company's policies and
practices relating to transgender employees. In the above situation, since Megan requested that you do
so, it would certainly be right to hold such a meeting with her supervisor.
Some employees who transition while employed prefer to take an active role in notifying their
supervisors and co-workers; others prefer that an HR professional take the lead. Similarly, some
transgender employees are comfortable sharing a lot of personal information with their colleagues,
whereas others prefer to share little or no information. It is important to consider a transitioning
worker's privacy in determining whom to notify, when to do so and how many details to provide.
Before proceeding, it would be wise to talk with Megan about if and when she would like you to notify
other employees about her transition and how much information she would like you to provide.
What About Using the Women's Restroom? Is That Required Next Week?
Yes. In fact,under the EEOC's ruling and certain state or local EEO laws, denying Megan access to
the women's restroom could be considered evidence of discrimination or harassment based on her
transgender status. In general, the best practice is to allow a transgender employee to use the restroom
that corresponds with the person's gender identity and full-time gender presentation.
Generally, it doesn't matter whether Megan has undergone any surgical treatment related to her gender
or whether her co-workers, customers or clients regularly perceive her as a woman. No employer
would require other employees to meet those types of standards before they use a particular restroom,
so applying them to just transgender workers may be interpreted as unlawful discrimination.
If Megan is more comfortable using a gender-neutral restroom, it is fine to direct her to one or make one
accessible to her if that is a feasible option. It would be inappropriate,however, to require a transgender
employee to use a gender-neutral restroom because of a co-worker's or customer's complaint about
sharing a restroom with a transgender person.
Can the Transgender Employee Be Disciplined for Violating the Dress Code?
Usually, it is not OK to discipline a transgender employee for dressing based on his or her gender

identity. Doing so may be considered unlawful discrimination under the EEOC's ruling and certain
state or local EEO laws. Thus, Kevin should not discipline Megan simply because she starts dressing in
feminine attire next week.
Nevertheless, an employer is well within its right to have standards of professional appearance that
pertain to all employees. Thus, if your company's dress code prohibits employees from wearing jeans in
the office, but Megan does so, then it is appropriate to discipline her for violating the no-jeans policy, as
long as others would be similarly disciplined.
In general, whenever Kevin is enforcing your company's dress policy, it is important for him to treat
Megan in the same way as he treats other women who report to him. This need for consistent treatment
in accordance with gender identity should be a subject of discussion when you meet with Kevin to
notify him of Megan's transition. If you have a gender-specific dress or appearance policy, consider
making it gender neutral to minimize the risk of misapplication to transgender employees.
Do You Recommend any Policy or Practice Changes?
Yes. If your company's nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policies do not already include gender
identity and gender expression as protected categories, consider adding them to make clear that your
organization provides equal employment opportunities to transgender individuals. It is also important to
review all workplace policies and practices to ensure that transgender individuals are treated in a
manner that is consistent with their gender identity and expression (for example, appearance and dress
codes).
There are several other areas where businesses may want to change their policies and procedures. For
instance, if your company conducts a background check as part of its pre-employment screening
process, consider taking steps to ensure that any information disclosed about a candidate's gender
history remains confidential and doesn't serve as the basis for adverse action.
Additionally, it is often useful to develop written protocols and guidelines for management on
appropriately addressing the needs of transgender employees, particularly those who transition while
employed. It is important for management to understand and make accessible the process by which
employees may promptly correct their administrative records, business cards, name badges, directories,
e-mail addresses, and other systems or sources of identity information.
Developing written protocols for management can be an effective way to consistently implement best
practices throughout the company and to provide what is likely to be much-needed guidance to
supervisors, who may not understand the needs of transgender employees.
As a general practice, your company should incorporate gender identity and expression into any
nondiscrimination and anti-harassment training it provides to new hires. It is critical to make clear at the
start of the employment relationship that your company has a zero-tolerance policy for transphobic
conduct.
Another strategy for minimizing legal risk in this area is to provide annual training to management on,
among other topics, identifying and handling workplace exchanges that may reflect bias against
transgender employees. Such training would also serve as an opportunity to review with supervisors
any written protocols on meeting the needs of transitioning employees.
