Equality (Bob Healea)

In recent years, LGBTQ+ individuals have achieved some additional rights which were historically only afforded to straight people. Certain of those rights (including marriage) are being challenged by the current conservative political and religious environment. In addition to retaining the rights already achieved, LGBTQ+ individuals need to be afforded full equality in social acceptance and legal protections from discrimination in employment, housing, families, health care and all other civil rights afforded to straight people.
