The Williamsburg City Council on Thursday unanimously approved a proposal to add the words “sexual orientation” to its anti-discrimination policy.
The council voted 5-0 to change the wording to specifically protect the city’s gay workers. The former policy said the city does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age or disability in employment or the provision of services.
