Billings, Montana, council defeats non-discrimination ordinance by 6-5, with the towns mayor casting the deciding vote, [s]aying he doesn’t believe Billings is ready for a nondiscrimination ordinance. ....As he prepared to gavel the 8 1/2 hour meeting to a close, Hanel urged those in attendance to walk out of here as professionals. We were all created equal, he said. If you can’t sit by someone who disagrees with you, shame on you. How dare he say that, after voting to enshrine inequality in the towns ordinances. His vote ensures that equality for LGBT people, in Billings, /ends/ at creation.
