Orange bars housing bias against gays

With little opposition from conservative Christian groups, the Orange County Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved a fair-housing ordinance that prohibits discrimination against gays.

"It's the right thing to do," Commissioner Mildred Fernandez said. "Orange County is a county that's changing, and it's changing for the better."

The inclusion of sexual orientation was applauded by members of the gay community.

In addition to sexual orientation, the new ordinance also adds disability and familial status to race, color, religion, gender and national origin. Familial status includes pregnant women and family size.
