متن يادداشت
A Connecticut statute bans employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. No Connecticut statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression. In November 2000, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities - the agency responsible for administering the anti-discrimination statutes and for processing discrimination complaints - ruled that statutes prohibiting sex discrimination also banned discrimination on the basis of gender identity. Efforts to reinforce this ruling by adopting a statute covering gender identity discriminaton have so far been unsuccessful.
