Murdered Matthew Shephard Triggers Laramie Reform
The Laramie City Council on Wednesday approved a local anti-discrimination ordinance in the college town where gay student, Matthew Shepard’s death triggered nationwide sympathy and brought a re-examination of attitudes toward gays 17 years ago.
The council voted 7-2 in favor of the measure that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, employment and access to public facilities such as restaurants.

The Flamingo Auto Group was hosting a car club weekend in Ft. Lauderdale. The hotel was owned by a car collector and the lobby was full of fun auto collectibles. We went to reserve our room on line. For just a little more we could up grade to the penthouse, which we did. We arrived to check in with a lot of luggage. After checking into the penthouse they actually said…….”Take the elevator to the 10th floor. Then get out and take the stairs up one flight to the penthouse.” We did it and there was a sign on the door that said “Employees Only”. LOL What the current owners of the hotel called the Penthouse was actually the former employee rooms add on the roof!!! LOL
