Bill would stop housing bias against LGBTQ+ people.
Today, federal law does not clearly protect people from unfair treatment in housing based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. This bill would change that by adding these protections to the Fair Housing Act. It would make it illegal to deny housing, loans, or real estate services, or to threaten someone, because of who they are or are thought to be.
Today, the Fair Housing Act stops unfair treatment based on race, color, religion, sex, disability, family status, or national origin. But it does not clearly include sexual orientation or gender identity. If this bill passes, it would make it illegal to treat people unfairly or threaten them in housing based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, or if others think they have these traits or are connected to people who do.
