Another Chance to Help Steve Stanton
Largo’s 14-year City Manager, Steve Stanton, was fired from his job on February 27th, one week after announcing that he is transgender. Steve has courageously decided to appeal his firing during a public hearing this Friday.
Commissioners will cast a final vote at the end of the evening.
Equality Florida is asking supporters to show up at Largo City Hall, Friday March 23rd at 4:00. You and your friends must attend the hearing and show city commissioners that Largo truly is a city of progress.

Such a shame that this man has to be dragged thru the mud like this. As if his personal decision wasn't difficult enough...
I'm glad he's fighting! "Don't let the Assbags get you down!" ;-)
Too bad it won't count in Largo but Minnesotans support Steve Stanton. One of St. Paul's most influential citizens is Susan Kimberly. She was president of the City Council back in the '70s while still Bob Sylvester. After gender reassignment in the 80s Susan returned be deputy mayor in 2000. You can find a podcast of a recent radio show on transgender issues, with some discussion of Stanton's situation at:
