In many states it is legal to discriminate against LGBT folks in housing and employment.

And there is no federal law against it.

Legalizing same sex marriage was not the end of the battle by a long shot. Many states actually made it easier to discriminate as a result of the marriage decision. You know, Christians love and all.

This, like healthcare is a winning issue for us that should be actually worked on.
