LGBTQ advocates are praising the Biden administration s Housing and Urban Development Department for interpreting the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Lambda Legal applauds this step by the Biden administration to make the promise of equal housing opportunity real for LGBTQ people across the country, Karen Loewy, senior counsel and senior strategist with Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, stated February 11. As our housing work has demonstrated and the Bostock decision confirmed, the harassment and discrimination that LGBTQ people face in housing are forms of sex discrimination that federal law will not tolerate. These actions by [the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development] will both prevent future discrimination and ensure that those who have experienced discrimination have a clear avenue for relief.
