THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — Transgender people in Omaha, Nebraska, are the target of a group called the Omaha Liberty Project. Their goal is to strip the city’s antidiscrimination protection for trans and LGBT residents from the books.

They’re attempting to force a public vote on the matter even though the ordinance is already law. The group has already filed a petition request with the city of Omaha. If approved, the group would have to gather enough signatures within a set period to qualify for being placed for public vote.

The people behind the group include Patrick Bonnett, a Tea Party Organizer, and Femi Awodele, executive director of Christian Couples Fellowship International.

Omaha City Councilman Ben Gray: “This group, whoever it is, must seem to think discrimination against some people is OK.”

Stay tuned.
