MPR’s Bill Wareham reports on St. Paul City Council passage of ordinance banning discrimination against homosexuals in employment, housing, education, and public services. Wareham interviews advocates and opponents of the measure.

Gays and lesbians in St. Paul had gone without legal protection from discrimination since 1978, when voters repealed homosexual rights legislation that had been in effect for four years.
