  21. I don't see that. What #2 says is that an organization cannot be prosecuted for
  22. discriminating against homosexuals, but there is nothing that says
  23. they *must* do so. I don't see that #2 prohibits an employer from
  24. establishing an anti-discrimination policy, and enforcing it
  25. internally, if they choose to.
