Not to mention that changes to a bill can happen down the line as it's being voted on. Bills being voted on aren't written in stone and given the people cosponsoring the bill I would say that, if not watched closely, they may just add whatever exceptions they want into it. Just because a bill says something now doesn't mean it will stay that way. It can drastically change during the process of putting them out if it even gets out.
If US anti-discriminatory laws worked all around I would be able to go topless like any other man. Instead I live in a state where I will be arrested while other states, such as Kansas, allows for toplessness. It all really depends and it doesn't always mean you get the protection you deserve.
