The highest league of professional baseball in the country has adopted a non-discrimination policy on the basis sexual orientation as part of its collective bargaining agreement with employees.

Major League Baseball and and the Major League Baseball Players’ Association jointly unveiled the amended five-year agreement Tuesday after the development was first reported by the New York Daily News.

The policy amends the Article XV of the expiring agreement, which already contained protections based on “race, color, religion or national origin,” to include protections based on sexual orientation.

The summary of the agreement states, “Non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation were added to Article XV.”

2. 2011 is turning out to be a great year.

Despite of the wrong doings that have been reported. More visibility unfortunately will cause more aggression, but I feel we are winning the fight.
