<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced the Equality Act – legislation that would enact federal protections against anti-LGBT legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Equality Act<\/a> would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Fair Housing Act to ban anti-LGBT discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, jury service, education, federal programs and credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the news conference, Pelosi told the Washington Blade \u201cwe\u2019ll see\u201d when asked when she\u2019d bring legislation to a floor vote, but was confident the House would approve it. (The Republican-controlled Senate is a different story.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
