Who wrote Charter Amendment 1?
The proposed Charter Amendment was drafted by a conservative group in Ann Arbor, Michigan, called the Thomas More Law Center. This non-profit law firm calls itself “The Sword and Shield for People of Faith” and its legal work a “ministry.” Their mission includes removing protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, and they are working in cities and counties throughout the United States to promote their agenda. In a fundraising letter, their Chief Counsel states they are “currently helping several Florida pro-family groups oppose the radical homosexual agenda in their communities. …The law center also helped draft a charter amendment and organize Christians and business leaders in Gainesville to overturn a misguided attempt to give civil rights to the self-perceived gender identity of individuals.” Their intention could not be clearer.
