Juneau is embracing transgenderism at a whole new level. In September, the capital city will host a town hall on transgenderism.
The item was on the May 16 agenda of the Juneau Human Rights Commission. It’s not clear where the town hall will be held.
“Our Transgender Town Hall will be held on September 28, 2023 from 6:30-8:00 pm. The Mendenhall Valley Public Library only books 8-weeks ahead. Mary found out that the Egan Library is an option but we need to submit a request and they approve based on alignment with the UAS mission” say the minutes from that meeting.
The Juneau Human Rights Commission had cancelled the transgender town hall that it planned for January of 2022, without explanation. The matter was put on hold last year and brought up again in January with renewed vigor.
In addition, the Juneau Human Rights Commission is asking the Assembly to pass a resolution it has drafted requiring the city to only sign contracts with businesses that have a non-discrimination policy expressly covering sexual orientation and gender identity.
The resolution also states that Juneau will be required to recruit LBGTQ workers for city employment.
