Gail Birnbaum 105 Hudson Street" Received May 24, 1982 "Dear Mayor Shaw and members of the Common Council: I am writing this letter to propose an amendment to this city's fair housing act. That being the inclusion of a clause to protect gay men . and women in Ithaca from discriminatory practices on-the part of land- lords. Because of our sexual and affectional preferences gay-men and women are always faced with the scarey reality that they are vulnerable and not uncommonly rejected by homophobic landlords without any pro- tection under federal, state or local provisions here in Ithaca.. I am aware of the history that this civil rights attempt has had here in recent years, having met with rejection by the council. I am asking that a "sexual preference" clause be introduced again with the hope - that this council now consists of a more informed, mature and politicly courageous group of representatives, both the newly elected and the senior members who had previously voted against such an inclusion. There have in recent months and years been adopted identical laws by numerous municipalities across the country and by the state of Wisconsin two months ago. In Wisconsin the bill received active support from civic leaders, clergy people and the governor. It passed with a large majority backing it in the state legislature. 5FA June 2, j.9"7 "It is time that there be legal recourse in Ithaca for women and men who are either refused housing or are evicted because they are gay. It is time that landlords here know the city of Ithaca will not con- done or ignore any longer such discrimination. I urge you mayor to introduce an amendment and you on the council to give it your support. Thank you sincerely, _ Mark Hasson 111 Spencer St #3" Mayor Shaw referred the above letter to Charter and Ordinance Committee.
