An effort to offer new legal protections to Cheyenne’s LGBTQ residents may be delayed until next year as city councilmen wait for a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a Colorado religious freedom case before introducing their ordinance.
The proposed ordinance, which is still under review by the city attorney’s office, is intended to mirror one Laramie passed in 2015. It would make it illegal to fire employees or refuse to provide housing or other services on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
