new commission to kill gay ban

Images of gay pride are now allowed to be shown on Hillsborough county government property. 

Joe Redner threatened a lawsuit over an ordinance passed that would have banned using county money to sponsor gay events or putting gay pride images on county property.

The new group of commissioners agreed to reword that ordinance, and the county will not have to spend taxpayer money on Redner’s lawsuit.

    Does this mean that Joe is still Gay or is he Stright now. Thanks to Joe for saving all of us taxpayers legal fees.

    I have worked with Joe for the past 5 years. Or I should say I’ve had the privilege to work with Joe for the past 5 years. He is the voice of freedom.

    Notice that this doesn’t answer the question :) Don’t get me wrong I thought the move to simply say “I’m Gay” and dare folks to dispute it was bold but his image is a bit…scummy?
