As you know, same-sex couples can now get married in all 50 states and territories across the United States of America...
But get this: the fundamental right to marriage does not
protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Americans from
discrimination in the workplace, housing and public spaces.
Seriously.
HRC
has put together a helpful infographic that you can share that outlines
the areas where LGBT Americans regularly face discrimination and the
risks they face on a daily basis.
Here's why we're asking you to share our infographic: Most
Americans that live in one of the 31 states lacking LGBT
non-discrimination protections have no idea that LGBT people lack
explicit federal non-discrimination protections.
HRC
has launched a campaign for full federal equality — nothing more,
nothing less. To get there, we must pass the Equality Act — a
comprehensive federal LGBT non-discrimination bill that was introduced
in Congress last week. This effort has been heralded as the next major
fight for the LGBT community by both the Washington Post and the
Huffington Post.
Within
24 hours of the introduction of this unprecedented bill, millions of
Americans learned about the discrimination LGBT people face and the
Equality Act from HRC and through dozens of national news stories. HRC
members in every single congressional district across the
country sent messages to their legislators. Corporations immediately
stepped up, as well — including Apple, Microsoft, and General Mills —
and the list continues to grow.
We
need to keep the momentum going and make sure even more people learn
about the Equality Act and the very real discrimination LGBT people
encounter every day all across the country.
By
informing others of just how many forms of discrimination LGBT people
continue to face, you will help lay the groundwork for the passage of
this crucial bill. It's time for a comprehensive federal LGBT
non-discrimination law. It's time for the Equality Act.
