City Council has approved amendments to City Personnel Policies adding the term "sexual orientation" to a list of characteristics for which city employees will not be discriminated against.

Winston-Salem joins Orange, Durham, Guilford, and Mecklenburg County, as well as the municipalities of Bessemer City, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Durham, Greensboro, and Raleigh, in a growing list of county, city and town governments in North Carolina protecting employees on the basis of sexual orientation.
