The city commissioners of Largo, Florida, have voted to fire Largo’s city manager, Steve Stanton, a month after it was revealed he was a transsexual and that he planned to live as a woman and eventually pursue a sex-change operation. On Friday night, hundreds of supporters of Stanton gathered in Largo to urge the city commissioners to reconsider. Members of Equality Florida wore pink T-shirts that read “Don’t Discriminate.” Stanton had served as Largo’s city manager for 14 years. City commissioners claimed the vote was because of his management style — not his lifestyle.
