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?

Another surreptitious attack on private property rights under the guise of "humanitarian" legislation. A private business owner should be able to discriminate however he chooses, it's his business. His own discrimination may cause him to lose money, incur the wrath of his neighbors and eventually cause him to lose his business, but that is his right. Citizens do not have the right to go wherever they want without fear of discrimination, just because they want to go there. There should be laws against discrimination in government services but that's it.

And what about protection for the man who proudley announces to everyone, daily, with bumper stickers, proclaimations, references to his "partner" Mr and/or Mrs. Hand, etc., that he beats off three times a day in the privacy of his home. The man that does the IN YOUR FACE yelling at you tht you had better like it too? There is a good possibility that he would be discriminated against. Where is the law to correct this travesty??? Ugh...

You have nailed one important part of this thing, annie.

It is not possible to prove that a business has discriminated against someone for their "sexual persuasion" if the person hasn't declared that "persuasion" during the business transaction attempt.

Appearances are not sufficient.

The second important part of this has been covered by other posters, I'm sure. Congress can pass no law respecting my free religious expression. If it is against my religious beliefs to be in business with a homesexual person, this law cannot pass constitutional muster to force me to be in business with a homosexual person. Equal protection and all, you know.
