Gay Rights Activists Building Support

Gay rights activists in North Dakota are already working to drum up support.

They hope to pass legislation prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity even though the next legislative session is still a year and a half away.

Community members in Bismarck gathered this week to discuss the issue of discrimination at a new series called “Diversity University.”

Activists have tried three times to pass legislation prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in North Dakota, including in the last legislative session.
