1. Yes it does give special rights. Employment protection and housing protection are already included in the current law.


Please tell me which law includes these protections for gay people. You won't find it, because there is no such state, federal, or city law. That is the whole fricking point of this law.

The reason the penalty is criminal is because the city can't make its own civil law per state statute. Speeding tickets are also criminal penalties, fyi. zomg

The EEOC has held that discrimination against an individual because that person is transgender (also known as gender identity discrimination) is discrimination because of sex and therefore is covered under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Commission has also found that claims by lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals alleging sex-stereotyping state a sex discrimination claim under Title VII. See Veretto v. U.S. Postal Service, EEOC Appeal No. 0120110873 (July 1, 2011),


Any other questions?

So why isn't it a criminal offense to not hire based on color or ethnicity?
