Or, maybe, someone who has been discriminated against.

That doesn't happen anymore, unless done by black liberals directed at white people, and we all know they would never win a court case......so I'm told.

I don't think sexual orientation was added to the federal list. Instead, people who are discriminated because of sexual preference can seek redress based on sex(gender) discrimination.

What slowguy said. Sexual orientation is not protected under federal law, but is in many states under state law. As slowguy mentions, there is a movement towards trying to claim it under gender discrimination. That has not yet worked at the appellate level, but some federal lower courts have entertained the argument.
