I refer to amendment No. 19 on sexual orientation. I know the Bill states that "sexual orientation" has the same meaning as it has in section 2(1) of the Equal Status Act 2000, but we want to add that "sexual orientation” refers to emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to others based on gender, and includes heterosexual, lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual and asexual orientation. It provides a more updated definition.
