A vote on H.R. 5, the Equality Act. H.R. 5 extends all anti-discrimination protection to LGBTQ+ Americans in access to employment, housing, education, public accommodations, credit, jury service and the use of Federal funds and ensures that all workers in the country will have protection from being fired for their sexual orientation or gender identity.
