Indianapolis City-County Council has rejected legislation that would have prohibited LGBT discrimination in jobs and housing.

Council voted 18 - 11 late Monday to defeat the measure, despite last-minute attempts at a compromise and weekend calls to council members by Mayor Bart Peterson.

"The response was overwhelmingly against this ordinance," Republican Councilman Scott Schneider told the Indianapolis Star following the vote.


and five Democrats voted against the measure--that could have been the margin of victory
