State law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, genetics, military status, and retaliation. In addition to these bases, the Massachusetts fair housing law also prohibits discrimination on the basis of children, public assistance, veteran status, and marital status.
