Maine Senators Push To Add LGBT People To Fair Housing Act

“Maine's two U.S. senators are introducing legislation designed to protect residents from housing discrimination that is based on gender identity or sexual orientation. Republican Sen. Susan Collins and independent Sen. Angus King are joining with Virginia's Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine in promoting the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2019. The senators say the proposal would add gender identity and sexual orientation to the classes that are protected from discrimination by the Fair Housing Act.”
