Montevallo is an inclusive community where all residents should have the opportunity to thrive in a safe and accepting environment.
But this Thursday opponents to the city's proposed nondiscrimination ordinance are hosting a panel of nationally recognized anti-LGBT speakers including the Alliance Defending Freedom, which the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated an anti-LGBT hate group.
We are joining the Montevallo Acceptance Project and other concerned residents to declare equality is not a threat. We will gather prior to the event in a show of solidarity with the LGBT community and attend the panel discussion to ensure pro-equality voices are heard.
