Andrew Yang Policy on LGBTQ RIGHTS


Sexual orientation and gender identity should be protected classes under the law, receiving all the federal protections afforded under the Constitution and law.

"Who you love and how you love are up to you. The law should recognize and protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans individuals. I’ve always been pro-gay marriage; why should straight people have all of the fun? People are people and all love is beautiful."

It’s been sitting in the House for a decade:

‘The Equality Act would amend existing civil rights law—including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Jury Selection and Services Act, and several laws regarding employment with the federal government—to explicitly include sexual orientation and gender identity as protected characteristics. The legislation also amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination in public spaces and services and federally funded programs on the basis of sex. “

How many years and tears where shed pushing ERA?
