BACKGROUND/HISTORY
ANALYSIS
T he City of Miami Beach is committed to ensuring that public funds are not used to subsidize hate or discrimination.
The City affirms its commitment to protecting members of all of the protected classification categories set forth at City Code Sec. 62-31, to include race, color, national origin, religion, sex, intersexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, marital and familial status, age, ancestry, height, weight, hair texture and/or hairstyle, domestic partner status, labor organization membership, familial situation, and political affiliation.
