Going Bold to Protect LGBTQ Equality

The Equality Act would help to ensure that all Americans, including LGBTQ people, receive full equality under the law.

The Equality Act clarifies and expands our nation’s civil rights laws to ensure explicit and comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people nationwide. This legislation is urgently needed to address the pervasive discrimination experienced by this community on a daily basis.

This video takes a look at where we’ve been and where we’re headed in the fight for LGBTQ equality.

Laura E. Durso is the vice president of the LGBT Research and Communications Project at the Center for American Progress. Kurt Mueller is a video editing contractor at the Center. Jasmine Hardy is the video editor at the Center for American Progress.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. A full list of supporters is available here. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
