The issue here is not that they are taking a position and becoming a friend of the court. The issue, as far as the City commissioners are concerned is subjugation of private thoughts:
It is one more blatant reminder that the commissioners on their thrones truly believe they have the right to speak for the people of Tallahassee in every aspect of our lives. It is an attempt to undercut any position taken by any Tallahassee citizen on the issue in the future. Anyone who wishes to speak on the subject can be cut off with: “Your lord mayor and high commissioners have spoken for you already. You have nothing further to add.”

In reply to Jane.

Jane,
That is the question…why does the COT need to get involved? There are two answers I come up with: 1) Because the two chairs (Miller and Ziffer) really believe this is a very important issue (ie: kissing up to the increasingly growing, and boundless, politically correct movement); 2) it makes them feel warm and fuzzy. Of course, both could be true. Watch for each Commissioner to make some ridiculous speech trying to avoid the wrath of the LGBT community.

Stay out of this Commissioners! You already have more city issues on your agendas than you ever get around to dealing with. Really? We elected you to jump into this fray? REALLY?

Why does the City of Tallahasse need to get involved? Isn’t this a State issue, not a local government issue? To take a position means to piss someone off. If you take a position for the LGBT community, then you piss off the conservatives. If you take a position for the conservative crowd, you piss off the LGBT community. Why get involved?

Before the City of Tallahassee steps into this arena, perhaps a call to Annise Parker, the Mayor of Houston, TX would be a good idea.
