Slovakia’s parliament passed a law forbidding employers from asking an employee his or her sexual orientation, the Slovak
Spectator reported June 2.
Gay groups and European Union officials said they would continue to push for a total ban on workplace discrimination based on
sexual orientation.
Slovakia is scheduled to join the EU in May of next year.
‘It is progress but it is not enough,’ said Onno Simons from the European Commission’s Bratislava delegation. ‘The EC definitely
looks forward to [Slovakia approving] an anti-discrimination law.’
