What it does
The Equality Act would prohibit discrimination based on sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation in areas such as employment, housing, public accommodations, education, credit, and jury service. It would apply to individuals who are LGBTQ or perceived to be LGBTQ, as well as women facing discrimination related to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or sex-based stereotypes. The bill clarifies that existing federal sex discrimination laws already cover these protections and seeks to provide a comprehensive national remedy for widespread discrimination affecting access to housing, healthcare, foster care, and public life.
