Last night the Hartford Court of Common voted unanimously in favor of two ordinances which protect gender identity or expression from discrimination.  The Council's action makes Hartford the first municipality in Connecticut to have anti-discrimination provisions on the basis of gender identity and expression. This ordinance adds gender identity or expression to race, color, religious creed, sex, age, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, ancestry, disability as classes protected from discrimination in City employment, employment with City contractors and housing. It also mandates that gender identity be incorporated into the City's Affirmative Action Plan and also allows aggrieved individuals to seek redress with the City's Office of Human Relations.
