This legislation protects Americans from discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity while seeking housing, applying for credit and pursuing an education, and in other key pathways to the American dream. While the Title VII Supreme Court decision barred job discrimination, the Equality Act would codify that ruling. LGBTQ people deserve to be free from discrimination in all forms. This bill passed the House on Feb. 25, 2021.
