LGBTQ Issues,Equality Act

From the Center

“The Democratic-led House passed a bill Thursday that would enshrine LGBTQ protections in the nation’s labor and civil rights laws… The Equality Act amends existing civil rights law to explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identification as protected characteristics. The protections would extend to employment, housing, loan applications, education, public accommodations and other areas.” (AP News)

The left supports the legislation, arguing that LGBTQ people should be protected from discrimination.

The right opposes the legislation, arguing that it fails to account for biological sex differences and erodes religious freedom.
