Equality Act Passes in House with Strong Bipartisan Support
Barry Nelson
North Dakota Human Rights Coalition said they applaud the U.S. House of Representatives quick passage of the Equality Act, a landmark federal law that would protect LGBTQ Americans in virtually all areas of daily life.
The bill, passed with a 224-206 bipartisan vote, would amend existing civil rights laws to explicitly ban LGBTQ discrimination in employment, housing, education, credit, jury service and other areas, and explicitly extend sex discrimination protections to public accommodations and federally-funded programs.
A Senate companion bill, S.393, was introduced on Tuesday by Sen. Jeff Merkley and 48 cosponsors.

Nearly half a century after North Dakota ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, debate continues in the Legislature over the amendment and whether the stateâs ratification stands.
âERA would forever make it illegal to extend benefits, privileges or exemptions to women. ERA, in fact, would do nothing for women,â Rose Christensen told the Senate Government and Veterans Affairs Committee recently. âThe ERA should more properly be considered unisex legislation.â
But Kristie Wolff, executive director of North Dakota Womenâs Network, told the committee that the amendment âisnât just about women.â Rather, âthe ERAâs guarantee of equal rights would protect both women and men against sex discrimination under the law.â
