On the late news last night, it was announced that Gov. Mario Cuomo (D)
of New York will sign an executive order next week which will prohibit
discrimination in hiring and personnel practices within New York State
agencies based on sexual preference. (The term homosexuality was
specifically mentioned.) Unfortunately this executive order only
applies to employment policies within New York State agencies and does
not affect possible discrimination in "non-state" employment, housing,
accommodations, etc.
But at least it is one small step forward in treating all people equally
rather than based upon irrelevant criteria.
as ever,
