BOZEMAN - The Bozeman City Commission has voted to add "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the categories of employees protected under the city's anti-discrimination policy.

The commission voted 3-0 Monday night to move forward with plans to protect homosexual and transgendered city employees from discrimination and to provide same-sex partners with the same benefits as opposite-sex couples. Commissioners Sean Becker and Eric Bryson did not attend the meeting.
