While I have not seen problems within Traverse City, I would personally like to see Traverse City take a leading position such as Grand Rapids, Lansing, East Lansing, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Kalamazoo and pass an Equal Rights Ordinance similar to those cities which included protection for LGBT persons in employment and housing.
