Senator Baldwin Leads Urgently Needed Bill to Protect LGBTQ+ Community from Discrimination

Press Release

Date: June 21, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity

"If we want to live up to our nation's ideal of true equality, we must address the fact that we have been coming up short. It is wrong that in a majority of states, LGBTQ+ people can be denied an apartment, cut from a job, thrown out of a store, or face other forms of discrimination just because of who they are or who they love. And that's why I am proud to join my colleagues in introducing the Equality Act to protect LGBTQ+ Americans against discrimination and live up to our nation's ideals of freedom and equality."
