The GLBT Center in Orlando is activating a hotline on Saturday so that individuals can confidentially report instances of discrimination at shelters, evacuation centers or when accessing emergency services.
“Someone might be turned away or feel that they’re discriminated against, so we put this up so they know they can get to somebody in their community who can help them to get things cleared up,” said Terry DeCarlo, The Center’s director of communications. “We don’t want people to wait, wondering what they’re going to do, because this is an emergency situation.”
