CALDWELL — Members of a Caldwell area human rights group are disappointed that the phrase "gender identity" was left out of Caldwell's revised employment discrimination policy.
The Caldwell City Council voted 6-0 Monday to add "sexual orientation" to the list of traits protected from discrimination in the city's employment policy. But members of the Canyon Area Human Rights Task Force, which proposed the change, had asked the city to also protect gender identity from employment discrimination. Gender identity refers to transgendered or transsexual individuals.
