Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin reintroduced the Equality Act to ban discrimination against LGBTQ+ Americans with Senators Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Cory Booker of New Jersey.
Senator Baldwin said, “The Equality Act simply puts into law what we all believe: that every American is created equal and should be treated equally under the law. But, for too many LGBTQ+ Americans in states across the country, equality under the law is not the reality, and they are harassed at work, denied a place to live, and discriminated against just for being who they are.”
Senator Baldwin continued, “The Equality Act makes clear that in the United States, we can live up to our nation’s highest ideals and we will not tolerate discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity – just like religion, race, or ethnicity. Equality is not a privilege, it’s what we’re all owed as American citizens, and I’m committed to making that promise a reality.”
