SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - An unlikely supporter is in agreement with the new Salt Lake City ordinance to not discriminate on the base of sexual orientation.

Senator Chris Buttars announced Wednesday he supported the new policy.

The support is unlikely because Buttars sponsored the state's constitutional amendment on marriage, and is also against gay marriage. 

However, he says he supports this bill because it protects people from discrimination in their employment and housing.

Tuesday, Mayor Ralph Becker signed the bill into law.
