@raphjd:
50 years on, the Dems haven't given us a damned thing when it comes to job, home, banking, credit, right to life, etc, etc, etc, etc.
(1) The Republicans haven't given American gays anything except hatred.
(2) The "Equality Act," which would "amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit, and the jury system" was passed by the US House in 2019. All Democrats voted in favor of the Act, along with eight Republicans. The remaining 173 Republicans voted against it. When sent to the Republican-controlled US Senate, it was referred to committee and died there.
(3) Many protections for gays in the US have been instituted at the state level, and almost exclusively by Democratic-controlled legislatures. This is in keeping with the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution, which clarified the concept of "federalism," leading to various concepts of "states' rights." It is a sad irony that "states' rights" has often been invoked by arch-conservatives who want individual states to preserve religious and/or racial discrimination.
