The sponsor of a measure that would have added sexual orientation to Nebraska’s workplace anti-discrimination laws says she’s encouraged, even though the measure died this legislative session.

Senator Danielle Conrad of Lincoln says, overall, she’s pleased she got the votes needed to pass the bill, though not enough to overcome a filibuster against it.
Conrad believes the Judiciary Committee addressed the strongest objections to the bill by adding a religious exemption . . .

Conrad has to leave the legislature, but says the issue will remain. . .
