BRITT SEEKS STRONGER GAY RIGHTS ORDINANCE San Francisco. CA — Supervisor Harry Britt hits announced that he will soon introduce amendments to lighten the city's ordinance prohibiting discrimination against gay men and lesbians. KILLER Many of these amendments represent technical changes and clarifications of ambiguous requirements. Among these will be a more significant statement concerning .prohibitions against discrimination in employment and services by the City and County of San Francisco itself. Other amendments Britt proposes would broaden the scope and enforcement of the law, according to a press release from the supervisor's office. "These include prohibiting businesses from discriminating in extending credit Itased on sexual orientation, increasing the .award of general damages by the Courts to $500 from a maximum of $100 and allowing the award of punitive damages, and prohibiting educational institutions from denying by G ary Schw eikhart admission or access to facilities based'on sexual orientation."
