Via Charlotte Observer:
The former president of Charlotte’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce has resigned after he came under fire from a conservative group, which noted that he is on a sex offender list and questioned his role in supporting the city’s expanded nondiscrimination ordinance.
Chad Sevearance-Turner had been the president of the chamber, which supported the newly expanded ordinance, which gives legal protection for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
At a City Council meeting Feb. 8, Mayor Jennifer Roberts cited a survey that showed discrimination was a real problem for the LGBT community. During the meeting, she said the survey was conducted by the LGBT chamber.
That prompted questions from the N.C. Values Coalition, which opposes the new LGBT protections in the ordinance.
