Gays and lesbians didn't have human rights before now?

Clearly they are a downtrodden, poor, and undereducated lot. The only way we can stop the discrimination and stigma is to force them to declare what they do in the privacy of their home. They'll need to be enumerated and outed so that they can claim they've have their rights denied on the basis of what they do in the bedroom.

Sadly, there seems to be no such 'protections' here for the bisexuals. I wonder why?

Since it is illegal to discriminate against people on a number of basis and also illegal to ask about those characteristics on a job application, how will an employer know if a person is a homosexual unless that person eiter tells them or exhibits behavior the is inconsistent with the morals of that company?

Exactly - evidently, "discrimination" will soon mean anyone that thinks homosexuality is wrong... Of course, as with most things left-wing, you can then take it out to extremes where if you missed an opportunity to abort your child, you will be protected if you decide to do an "after birth abortion"... Anything that the average person finds wrong, immoral, or even repugnant stands to become a protected "minority"...

No, they didn't. And they still don't. Gays and lesbians are second class citizens in this country, unfortunately. They aren't allowed to marry. They can get fired from their jobs if their boss find out their gay. They can get evicted from their apartment for the same reason. It's all about the boss's or landlord's religious beliefs. However, you don't see heterosexuals getting fired for being 'outed' as straight.
