What’s This?
It's time for our leaders to update existing civil rights protections to provide consistent and explicit non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people across key areas of life including employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, federally funded programs, and jury service. And we need to expand protections for women, people of color and people of faith (especially minority faiths).
Decades of history show that federal civil rights protections are effective in decreasing discrimination because they provide strong remedies targeted to specific vulnerable groups. By explicitly including sexual orientation and gender identity, LGBTQ+ people will finally be afforded the exact same protections as other covered characteristics at the federal level.
