He not only excelled in his career, but bought a home and settled down with his wife and newborn daughter in Texas.<\/p>\n<p>All of that changed in an instant when Brown was outed by his colleagues as transgender. What followed was months of discrimination and harassment by his peers, managerial staff and even human resources. Brown was ultimately fired simply because of who he is <strong>\u2014 <\/strong>that is unacceptable. That\u2019s why HRC is working to pass explicit, guaranteed federal protections for LGBTQ Americans across the country.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Brown is not alone. An estimated <a href=\"http:\/\/hrc.org\/equalityact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50 percent of LGBTQ Americans<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> in states where they\u2019re at risk of being fired, denied housing, or refused service because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/hrc.org\/equalityact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Equality Act<\/a> would fix the patchwork of protections and finally add explicit and comprehensive federal LGBTQ non-discrimination protections under our nation\u2019s existing civil rights laws, protecting LGBTQ workers like Brown. The Williams Institute <a href=\"https:\/\/williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/Equality-Act-March-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released a new report<\/a> highlighting the millions of LGBTQ Americans the bipartisan legislation would protect in employment, housing, education, credit, public accommodations and other key areas of life. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the historic election of a new pro-equality majority in Congress, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and leadership have made clear that passing the Equality Act is a top legislative priority this session. Earlier this week, Brown joined HRC on the Hill to meet with lawmakers to advocate for shift passage of the Equality Act. \u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">1\/ Outed as transgender at work, Carter Brown faced months of harassment before he was ultimately fired.<\/p>\n<p>He continues to advocate for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EqualityAct?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EqualityAct<\/a> to protect him and countless other LGBTQ people from discrimination in the workplace. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XIUT0XtjuM\">pic.twitter.com\/XIUT0XtjuM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HRC\/status\/1105927780020162561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 13, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">2\/ \u201cI was eventually fired from work simply because of my identity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carter Brown and all LGBTQ Americans should have a fair chance to earn a living and provide a home for their families without fear of harassment or discrimination. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UwEzrxlQZa\">pic.twitter.com\/UwEzrxlQZa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Human Rights Campaign (@HRC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HRC\/status\/1105928186381115393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 13, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">3\/ Millions of LGBTQ Americans like Carter Brown still lack basic legal protections in states nationwide.
