Bismarck Tribune Editorial: No Discrimination
02, 2009 – 04:05:12 CST

Protection from discrimination in North Dakota should be extended to gays and lesbians.

This does not endorse sexual orientation or lifestyle choices, but protects gays and lesbians from discrimination when it comes to housing, employment, credit, insurance, public accommodations and services.

Already discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion, age, national origin and disability are protected.

These are fairness issues that deserve support.

The state Senate passed the bill doing this by a 27-19 margin, and now it’s in the state House of Representatives. The House should pass it.
