BIG NEWS: We just passed the #EqualityAct in the House!
This is a big win for the LGBTQ+ community–and our nation.
No American should be discriminated against because of where they live, who they love, or how they identify.
The Senate needs to take up & pass this bill NOW.

Just heard the Equality Act passed the House! Now it’s up to us in the Senate to pass it too. LBGTQ+ folks have waited too long for these protections.
