LGBTQ Equality Act

The LGBTQ Equality Act is legislation aimed at ensuring that people who identify as LGBTQ+ are protected from discrimination in areas like employment, housing, public accommodations, education, and access to services. It updates existing laws to explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identity, preventing unfair treatment based on these traits. The goal is to promote fairness, safety, and equal rights for LGBTQ+ individuals nationwide, reducing bias and ensuring they have the same protections and opportunities as others under the law.
