A Message from the President: Human Rights Ordinance

On behalf of MBA Orlando & Come Out With Pride, I would like to congratulate The Orange County Board of County Commissioners for passing Orange County's fully inclusive Human Rights Ordinance granting equality to all segments of the LGBT Community. This historic vote will have immediate and positive repercussions across Central Florida and sends a clear signal that Orlando truly believes in equal rights for all its citizens. This fully inclusive ordinance also embraces the transgender community and provides long overdue protections and rights for that segment of our diverse community. I am sure that businesses which look to Orange County as their choice of locations will favor our area due to our rich culture and commitment to our talented and diverse population.

We also recognize the tremendous efforts of Commissioners Linda Stewart, Bill Segal and Mayor-elect Teresa Jacobs for their support in the passage of this vital ordinance. We look forward to working with the City of Orlando to pass a similar measure in the near future.

Gina Duncan
MBA President
