A rally was held Monday night in support of Omaha City Councilman Ben Gray’s ordinance that would allow gay and transgendered employees to file discrimination complaints with the city.

The interfaith rally, held at the First United Methodist Church, included leaders from five area churches and the Temple Israel synagogue.

How many of you were surprised to see that this interfaith rally was in favor of the ordinance? Be honest: You saw “Church Leaders Rally” and “LGBT Ordinance” in the headline and thought the worst.
