An Ohio LGBT anti-discrimination bill that was set to be introduced this month will now be delayed until next March at the earliest.

The measure, dubbed the Equal Housing and Employment Act, would add sexual orientation and gender identity wherever other protected classes are now listed in the Ohio Revised Code, such as race, religion, and national origin.
