THREAD: President Biden’s executive order enshrining protections for LGBTQ people isn’t just a mandate — it's a new beginning for many who've faced discrimination. Here’s why.
The federal government is now putting its full force behind anti-discrimination law. Never again will you have to hide pictures of your family or loved ones at work out of concern you may be fired or harassed.
Teenagers can now attend prom with the people they choose, and kids can go to class with the assurance that they should be called on with their chosen pronouns.
LGBTQ people cannot be turned away from public housing or homeless shelters on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and private landlords cannot discriminate against them either.
Doctors and nurses cannot refuse treatment, and banks cannot refuse services simply because someone identifies as LGBTQ.
Politics at the national level always translates to changes on the ground. These are some of the most significant we’ve ever seen from a federal administration. We thank @POTUS and @VP for their historic leadership.
There’s more work to do. Let’s pass the #EqualityAct.
