"Every year, the Equality Federation tracks hundreds of pieces of legislation, and we see how different it is from state to state. For example, the state where I live currently, Minnesota, has had non-discrimination protections in place for more than 20 years. The state that I’m from, Alabama, does not have those protections. When I drive from Minnesota home to see my mom in Alabama, I drive through four states that also don’t have protections. This patchwork of laws across the country is not sustainable. It’s not good for our economy. It’s not good for folks who want to be able to be mobile and move states."
— Fran Hutchins, executive director of the Equality Federation, speaking to Fatherly about the importance of passing The Equality Act
