Sexual orientation and lawful sexual activity
Whether you are heterosexual, homosexual, lesbian or bisexual you have the same rights under the Equal Opportunity Act. That means it is against the law for someone to discriminate against you because of your sexual orientation.
Sex between consenting adults is no-one's business but the people involved. Our laws protect us all from discrimination on the basis of lawful sexual activity. That means who you have sex with should have no bearing on whether you get a job, a promotion, accommodation, a loan or place on a sporting team.
