The bill allows a person to assert a violation of this provision as a claim or defense in a judicial, agency, or other proceeding and obtain compensatory damages, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, or any other appropriate relief against a government.
The language of this bill would allow any person or entity a license to discriminate against not only same-sex couples and their children, but also anyone who has had sex outside of marriage.
