conduct which otherwise adversely affects the employment opportunity
of applicants or employees on the basis of sexual orientation of the
employee or applicant.
B. No State agency or department shall discriminate on the basis of
sexual orientation against any individual in the provision of any services
or benefits by such State agency or department.
