Public Accommodations Discrimination

A place of public accommodation includes any public place, business, resort, recreation or amusement. The City of Pittsburgh unlawful public accommodation practices ordinance (Chapter 659.04) protects you from illegal discrimination because of your ancestry, citizenship or immigration status, color, disability, gender identity or expression, protective and cultural hair textures/styles and head coverings, national origin, place of birth, preferred language, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.
