Prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity

This bill updates Missouri's human rights laws to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It defines these protected categories to include an individual's gender-related identity, appearance, or mannerisms, regardless of their sex assigned at birth. The legislation applies to employers with six or more employees, as well as businesses and organizations that offer goods or services to the general public. By amending existing statutes, the bill ensures that unfair treatment due to these characteristics is considered illegal under state law.
