Why is The Alliance needed?
The law allows discrimination against LGBTQ+ people in 27 states today. Although LGBTQ+ people are protected in some states and municipalities, federal Fair Housing Laws do not include sexual orientation or gender identity as protected classes. This causes various barriers to homeownership, obtaining a loan, renting, and more.
What is LGBTQ+?
Because sexual orientation and gender identity exist on a spectrum, it’s impossible to characterize it briefly. LGBTQ+ stands for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer communities. The “Plus” encompasses all the identities that are not covered in the acronym.
What is an Ally?
For any minority group, the support of allies are critical. Allies are the people that do not fit into the LGBTQ+ identity, but support the equal rights of those within the community. Allies can include individuals and companies like our corporate partners including National Association of Realtors, Keller Williams, Sothebys, Coldwell Banker and more.
