Lansing showed real leadership and showed who we are in 2006 by passing a human rights ordinance designed to protect the rights of all residents from discrimination on personal attributes, including the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

One cold January, Debra Nelson decided to drop in for a quick visit to her only son.  Using her key to enter his apartment, the place was eerily silent.  She called out for him with no response.  She approached the bathroom and found him unconscious, lying face down on the floor.  She called 911 but by the time paramedics arrived, he was already dead.
