Committee on Human Relations

Wednesday, November 28, 2018 · 10:00 AM AM · Council Chamber -- City Hall -- Chicago, Illinois

TL;DR

The Committee on Human Relations voted to recommend a resolution calling on the federal government to stop narrowly defining gender as biological and immutable, and urging the City of Chicago to support transgender and intersex communities. This is primarily a statement of values rather than a local policy that directly affects city services or budgets.
