Employment Discrimination

In Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court found that employers can't discriminate against people just because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The following links explain your rights at work and what you can do if your employer discriminates against you.

Housing Discrimination

One of the first Executive Orders that President Joe Biden signed after taking office was aimed at preventing discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

They responded to President Biden's Order by expanding fair housing protections for LGTBQ people.
