This bill prohibits discrimination based upon a person's sexual
orientation.  The bill defines "sexual orientation."

The bill also clarifies that discrimination includes cases where
unfair treatment results from the guilty party's mere assumptions
about the victim (e.g., race, religion, etc.) whether or not
those assumptions are true or false.
