discrimination and harassment based on actual or perceived race,

life; and
   WHEREAS, Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people come from

ability, medical condition, sex, or gender identity or expression;
and
   WHEREAS, While our great state and nation have come a long way in
our journey toward dignity, understanding, and mutual respect for
all, we still have a long way to go in eradicating the prejudice and
discrimination that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people
