Present.

I'd prefer if Sexual Orientation was on the bill, unless you'd lump that in with Sex.

First let's get it passed, then we can argue about adding something.

Would you mind redoing this vote? An hour and a half after Senator Liniran posted his vote, Senator RCS edited the bill to fix a mistake. Unfortunately, I can't see what the original bill said and, therefore, don't know what the Senate passed. For future reference, please don't edit bills during or after votes.

Also, I think it should be made clear what this bill would do. At present, the Regional Economy Act prohibits private economic discrimination based on:
  • Race
  • Ethnicity
  • Sex
  • Nationality
This bill would remove the protections for race and ethnicity. It would add protections for age, political affiliation, religion, and raider/defender stance. It would exclude protections, which have been proposed, for sexual orientation and citizenship status. I honestly can't see a good reason for either of the removals.

Slavic Lechia pointed out that Nationality was in it twice, unfortunately when I posted it I was on lunch break and looked over that. Yeah I think it would be wise to revote on this.
