Yesterday, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organisation, called out the U.S. House of Representatives for approving a new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) containing an anti-LGBT provision that would allow sweeping taxpayer-funded discrimination.
Family Equality Council today denounced a federal bill introduced last week in Congress that would permit providers of adoption and foster care services to refuse to work with families with whom they have personal, religious, or moral objections. The legislation is spearheaded by anti-LGBT groups the Family Research Council and the Heritage Foundation, and threatens to undo the progress made on behalf of LGBTQ families over the last several years and harm some of our most vulnerable children.
Today the bipartisan campaign Americans for Workplace Opportunity announced it had formed in order to take advantage of a historic opportunity to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act 19 years after its first introduction – a bill to ban workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Human Rights Campaign, the America’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organisation, today thanked Reps. Jim McDermott (D-WA), Richard Hanna (R-NY), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) for putting families first by reintroducing the bipartisan Tax Parity for Health Plan Beneficiaries Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.
