"Everyone is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the law.”
Equality includes the full and equal enjoyment of all the rights and freedoms entrenched in the Bill of Rights. This means it is UNLAWFUL to Discriminate, Harass, Intimidate or Attack LGBTIQ persons because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
