Picture 7

UPDATE: The council recessed shortly before noon for lunch. Members will return at 1 p.m. to discuss and vote on the ordinance.

ORIGINAL POST: The debate over a proposed citywide ordinance to protect LGBT citizens in San Antonio will come to an end today when the council votes.

But until the vote around noon, the council is hearing from a divided community about the ordinance. Supporters in red are speaking out in favor of the measure, while opponents dressed in blue are discussing their religious objections.

Watch the speaker address the council here or here.

More to come …
