From a friend:

June 4, 2007

The U.S. Congress is considering three pieces of legislation that would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by adding “sexual orientation” as a new special rights protected class.

This week Congress is hearing the second piece of legislation adding “sexual orientation” for federal employees to the Code in the Clarification of Federal Employment Protections Act (H.R. 2232). H.R. 2232 does not define “sexual orientation,” but the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has listed 30 such sexual orientation behaviors that would potentially be granted special minority status, like race, under this legislation.

What Is A ‘Sexual Orientation’? There are 30 different categories of “sexual orientation”

The American Psychiatric Association (APA), which is dominated by homosexual activists, publishes a huge document called the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-R). This manual is used by psychiatrists and other mental health workers to define various mental illnesses. This is their list of 30 “sexual orientations.”
