Orientation in West Virginia

An agency in West Virginia's second-largest city may follow Charleston's lead and add sexual orientation to an anti-discrimination ordinance.

The Herald-Dispatch reports that "The Huntington Human Relations Commission next week will consider seeking a ban on discrimination in housing and employment."

The Charleston Gazette reported last month that the capital city's council unanimously passed a measure "that adds sexual orientation to the list of categories by which businesses and landlords are forbidden to discriminate under the city’s human rights ordinance."

The West Virginia Family Foundation has vowed to fight such moves.
