      🧵 If passed, the Equality Act would be the most substantial LGBTQ+ rights law enacted in the United States. But, the future of the law might be in the hands of who wins the Georgia Senate races. New from @shoeleatherkate:https://bit.ly/38gpTpR

      2/ The Equality Act bans discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in housing, public accommodations, education and employment, among other things. The law has languished in Congress for nearly five decades.https://bit.ly/38gpTpR

      3/ “We have not been able to move that piece of legislation forward because of the current configuration of the Senate,” @sarahkateellis said.https://bit.ly/38gpTpR

      4/ The pair of #GASen races will determine which party controls the Senate. For advocates like Ellis, a win for the Democrats isn’t just about tipping Senate control to Democrats — both Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff have vowed to pass the Equality Act.https://bit.ly/38gpTpR

      5/ A poll by @glaad last October found that that 89 percent of straight cisgender Americans mistakenly believed federal law already protected people from being evicted because they are LGBTQ+.https://bit.ly/38gpTpR

      6/ Advocates are especially anxious to pass the Equality Act in 2021 now that the Supreme Court tilts conservative. “Whether or not we get to exist as full humans in society in the United States of America has really fallen at the steps of the Supreme Court,” Ellis said.

      7/ However, it’s not just the fate of the Equality Act that has LGBTQ+ organizations watching Tuesday’s #GASen results. Incumbent Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue have the backing of anti-LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations.https://bit.ly/38gpTpR

      8/ Perdue has a 100 percent rating from Family Research Council Action, the political arm of the anti-LGBTQ+ organization of the same name. Loeffler introduced a bill last year that aimed to ban schools from allowing transgender girls to participate on girls’ sports teams.

          9/9 Tuesday’s ballots represent stark differences for LGBTQ+ Georgians, said @jbeachferrara. “It’s hard to think of a set of voting circumstances that would feel ... quite so determinative of the path our country would be on in the next few years.”https://bit.ly/38gpTpR
