(b) Civil Action. Any aggrieved person may enforce the provisions of this Article in a civil action.
(c) Equitable Relief.
(1) Any person who commits, or proposes to commit, an act in violation of this Article may be enjoined therefrom by any court of competent jurisdiction.
(2) An action for equitable relief under this subsection may be brought by any aggrieved person, by the District Attorney, by the City Attorney, or by any other person.
(d) Bar. A complaint to the Human Rights Commission is not a prerequisite to the filing of a civil action under this Section.
