I didn't know that too. I imagine there are places that won't hire someone they know is gay without giving that as a reason but not firing. I on't understand the reasoning, how is someone's sexuality impact their work ability.
Good result.
This decision, as I understand it, would extend to recruitment, given that it's a work activity (from a pragmatic point of view, though, it's often difficult to establish why you weren't successful in a particular job application).
Unfortunately, this prohibition on discrimination doesn't extend to other areas of life, so it's still entirely possible to be turned down by landlords when seeking to rent accommodation, by adoption agencies, by private venues or sporting clubs...
