MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The Shelby County Commission has approved a wide-ranging anti-discrimination resolution.
The measure, approved 9-4 Monday, says Shelby County cannot discriminate against anyone for any reason.
It was a revised version of 1 that originally just protected gay, lesbian and transgender rights.
Onlookers packed the Shelby County Administration Building for the vote. Staffers at commission offices said they had received hundreds of calls and e-mails on the topic in recent days.
