“The LGBT rights bill would “provide explicit, consistent protections for sexual orientation and gender identity,” Cicilline’s letter said. He explained the bill would cover seven areas of law:
People who are credit worthy could not be refused loans, leases, or credit cards for being LGBT; public education institutions that receive federal money could not discriminate against LGBT students; otherwise qualified employees and job applicants could not be discriminated against in hiring, promotion, or firing; LGBT renters and home buyers could not be discriminated against in leasing or purchasing homes, securing home loans, or using brokerage services; people could not be held off of juries or denied federal funding for being LGBT; and finally, people could not be refused services in places of public accommodations, from hotels to stores, based on a persons sexual orientation or gender identity.”WHOA
DO YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY NOT REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS
PAY ATTENTION
THIS COULD ARGUABLY BE WORTH MORE THAN THE MARRIAGE RULINGRight? No more getting fired for being lgbt, for being trans, not being allowed a hotel room, or apartment, or schools being rude and not letting you pee/have properly gendered housing!
Time to REALLY bring the fight!
NGL I’m so so so happy about marriage, equality but this is A LOT MORE IMPORTANT overall as far as protecting people goes.
CALL OR WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND GET THIS SHIT DONE.
