Correct Answer

C) Sexual orientation

Sexual orientation is NOT a protected class under the Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama §24-8-1 et seq.). Alabama's state fair housing statute mirrors the federal Fair Housing Act and protects the same seven classes: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. Sexual orientation is not among them under Alabama state law, although some federal interpretations have expanded protections at the federal level.
