Questions raised over anti-discrimination bill

WHILE clarifying that they are against discrimination, pro-life groups are raising questions on the “Anti Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity Discrimination” bill, which could end up penalizing boys’ or girls’ schools, seminaries and faith-based organizations because of their admissions or employment policies.

House Bill (HB) 267 outlaws “discriminatory practices” such as refusing admission or expelling a person “from any educational or training institution on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.”
