Put Another One Down in the Books for LGBT Protections

I am happy to announce that the Obama Administration has come through again for the LGBT community with the announcement of federal housing protection through Housing and Urban Development. A quote from the article says: Secretary Donovan stated “Today, I am proud to announce a new Equal Access to Housing Rule that says clearly and unequivocally that LGBT individuals and couples have the right to live where they choose.”

I worked as a real estate agent for three years before letting my license go to focus my energy on writing, but during that time as an agent, it pained me to know that people in the LGBT weren’t protected under federal or state anti-discrimination clauses in regard to housing and job protection.

This new ruling pertains to federally funded housing, so we still have to fight at the state level. Want to know how your state ranks? Check out your state.
