tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

unlawful 
employment 
practice

because of the sexual orientation of the individual;
(2) to limit, segregate, or classify its member-
ship or applicants for membership, or to classify or
fail or refuse to refer for employment any individual,
in any way that would deprive or tend to deprive any
individual of employment opportunities, or would
limit such employment opportunities or otherwise
