Earnest said Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is now clear that the administration strongly supports the Equality Act,&#8221; Earnest said at a briefing. &#8220;That bill is historic legislation that would advance the cause of equality for millions of Americans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/114th-congress\/house-bill\/3185\" target=\"_blank\">The Equality Act of 2015<\/a>, which was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merkley.senate.gov\/news\/press-releases\/historic-comprehensive-lgbt-non-discrimination-legislation-introduced-in-congress\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a>&nbsp;to Congress in July, would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sexual orientation and gender identity as federally protected categories.&nbsp;The amended law would ban the discrimination of LGBT individuals from areas such as housing, public accommodations and some employment.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>LGBT rights activists rejoiced when the Supreme Court ruled this summer that same-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> marriage is a constitutional right, but many LGBT individuals still suffer discrimination in their own states because there is no federal mandate of protection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In most states, you can get married on Saturday, post your wedding photos to Facebook on Sunday, and then get fired on Monday just because of who you are,&#8221;&nbsp;Rep.&nbsp;David Cicilline (D-R.I.) <a href=\"https:\/\/cicilline.house.gov\/press-release\/cicilline-introduces-equality-act-prohibit-discrimination-against-lgbt-community\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a>&nbsp;when introducing the bill to the House in July.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/lgbt-discrimination-study_562f9d9fe4b06317990f7971\" target=\"_blank\">Only about half<\/a>&nbsp;of the the country lives in an area where the LGBT community is protected from employment discrimination, according to an October&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lgbtmap.org\/file\/policy-spotlight-local-NDOs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report from the Movement Advancement Project<\/a>,&nbsp;an independent think tank that focuses on LGBT issues.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Last week, voters in Houston <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/houston-lgbt-vote_563a535ae4b0307f2caba1cc\" target=\"_blank\">overturned<\/a> the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO,&nbsp;which would have protected LGBT individuals against discrimination in the workplace, as well as other areas.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The White House has waited until now to support the Equality Act because it wanted to evaluate the effect the law would have on certain government policies and programs,&nbsp;Earnest said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After concluding that review and determining that&#8230;this kind of legislation would achieve the desired effect&#8230;we believe that we can support it,&#8221; Earnest said.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Many people who oppose legislation of this kind argue that it is an infringement on their religious beliefs.&nbsp;But Earnest said that as long as such legislation balances LGBT equal rights with constitutional religious freedom, the administration can support the bill.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have articulated about the importance of equal rights and making sure that people can&#8217;t be discriminated against because of who they love, while, you know, at the same time making sure that we can protect religious liberty,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The Human Rights Campaign, a major LGBT rights group, commended the administration&#8217;s statement Tuesday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;By endorsing the Equality Act, the White House sent a strong message that it&rsquo;s time to put the politics of discrimination behind us once and
