WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El Senador de los EE. UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, coautor del Ley de Igualdad<\/i> con el representante David Cicilline (D-RI), junto con el l\u00edder de la mayor\u00eda del Senado Charles Schumer (D-NY) y los senadores estadounidenses Cory Booker (D-NJ), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) y el presidente del Comit\u00e9 Judicial del Senado Richard Durbin (D -IL) hoy para aplaudir la aprobaci\u00f3n bipartidista de la Ley de Igualdad<\/i> en la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de EE.UU. El Ley de Igualdad<\/i> es un proyecto de ley hist\u00f3rico e integral que prohibir\u00eda la discriminaci\u00f3n contra los estadounidenses LGBTQ, al igual que la discriminaci\u00f3n por motivos de raza, religi\u00f3n o etnia es ilegal en todo Estados Unidos.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEn la tierra de la libertad, las puertas de la oportunidad no deben cerrarse de golpe por qui\u00e9nes son los estadounidenses o a qui\u00e9n aman. Ya es hora de poner fin a la oscura historia de la discriminaci\u00f3n y comenzar una nueva era de igualdad y justicia para nuestros compa\u00f1eros estadounidenses LGBTQ\u201d. dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cLa aprobaci\u00f3n de la C\u00e1mara de hoy de la Ley de Igualdad<\/i> es un importante paso adelante y una brillante fuente de esperanza para todos los estadounidenses que valoran la libertad y la igualdad para todos. Entonces, celebremos este importante hito y tambi\u00e9n usemos este d\u00eda para volver a comprometernos a llevar la lucha para prohibir la discriminaci\u00f3n LGBTQ al Senado. Hagamos de 2021 el a\u00f1o en que terminemos con la discriminaci\u00f3n que sigue siendo legal en la mayor\u00eda de los estados estadounidenses. Hagamos de 2021 el a\u00f1o en que toquemos las campanas de la libertad para todos los estadounidenses\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEstoy orgulloso de volver a presentar el Ley de Igualdad<\/i> en el Senado, porque es una legislaci\u00f3n esencial, urgente y esperada desde hace mucho tiempo que nos acercar\u00e1 a una sociedad en la que todos los estadounidenses sean tratados por igual ante la ley\u201d, dijo el l\u00edder Schumer. <\/b>\u201cIncluso hoy, abundan los signos de discriminaci\u00f3n basada en la orientaci\u00f3n sexual desde la educaci\u00f3n, la vivienda, la planificaci\u00f3n familiar, desde el lugar de trabajo hasta la adopci\u00f3n y la inmigraci\u00f3n. El Congreso debe aprobar la Ley de Igualdad<\/i> para que los estadounidenses LGBTQ+ ya no tengan que enfrentar la discriminaci\u00f3n en algunas de estas \u00e1reas m\u00e1s b\u00e1sicas de la vida\u201d.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAplaudo a mis colegas en la C\u00e1mara por tomar medidas reales y significativas para aprobar la Ley de Igualdad<\/i> que aclarar\u00e1 y codificar\u00e1 que la ley federal de derechos civiles protege a los estadounidenses LGBTQ+ de la discriminaci\u00f3n\u201d, dijo Booker.  <\/b>\u201cInsto a mis colegas en el Senado a que apoyen esta legislaci\u00f3n que se necesita con urgencia mientras trabajamos para garantizar que los derechos de todos los estadounidenses, sin importar su orientaci\u00f3n sexual o identidad de g\u00e9nero, est\u00e9n protegidos por la ley y que la dignidad y el valor de las personas LGBTQ sean respetados. respetado y elevado\u201d. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b>\u201cEs simplemente incorrecto que en la mayor\u00eda de los estados, los estadounidenses LGBTQ vivan sin leyes de no discriminaci\u00f3n totalmente inclusivas y a\u00fan puedan enfrentar discriminaci\u00f3n simplemente por ser quienes son o a quienes aman. Es hora de poner fin a este tipo de discriminaci\u00f3n porque los estadounidenses LGBTQ deben tener la libertad de la plena igualdad\u201d. dijo Balduino.<\/b> \u201cLa C\u00e1mara est\u00e1 tomando medidas para aprobar la Ley de Igualdad<\/i> y el Senado deber\u00eda hacer lo mismo. Hagamos este trabajo y envi\u00e9moslo al presidente Biden para que pueda convertirlo en ley y brindar igualdad total para todos los estadounidenses LGBTQ en todo nuestro pa\u00eds\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAplaudo a la C\u00e1mara de Representantes por aprobar la Ley de Igualdad<\/i>,\u201d Dijo Durbin. <\/b>\u201cAhora que el proyecto de ley est\u00e1 en el Senado, trabajar\u00e9 con mis colegas para tratar de aprobar esta legislaci\u00f3n cr\u00edtica y garantizar que los estadounidenses LGBTQ est\u00e9n clara y completamente protegidos por las leyes de derechos civiles de nuestra naci\u00f3n. Ning\u00fan estadounidense deber\u00eda enfrentar discriminaci\u00f3n por ser qui\u00e9n es o a qui\u00e9n ama\u201d.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

La semana pasada, Merkley se asoci\u00f3 con los senadores estadounidenses Cory Booker (D-NJ) y Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) para anunciar la introducci\u00f3n de la legislaci\u00f3n en el Senado de los EE.
