House Approves Ban on Anti-Gay Discrimination - New York Times

House Approves Ban on Anti-Gay Discrimination - New York Times

I don't know whether to be happy this bill was passed by the House or saddened that it took so long and still faces a Senate vote and a likely presidential veto to override.

It seems ridiculous that in the 21st Century we have yet to conquer discrimination based on sexual orientation (and, remember, marriage equality is still a dream for most). I hope that in 20 years this will all seem like a distant memory - that sexual orientation, as well as skin color, religion and gender, will have nothing to do with limitations or prejudice in anyone's professional or public life.
