[ccharles000]

The North Dakota Senate voted 27 to 19 today in support of a bill that adds gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals to the protected classes in the state Human Rights Act.

Sen. Tom Fiebiger, D-Fargo, the prime sponsor of the proposal, said Senate Bill 2278 prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

The bill would prohibit discrimination in housing, employment, credit transaction and use of public accommodation.
