Change.org - Taylor Swift

Pride month starts today, and the LGBTQ community is still fighting for basic protections. Taylor Swift is fighting with them to make sure the Equality Act is signed into law, using her public platform to share a powerful message about unity and love. Her petition has drawn support from leaders like Senator Cory Booker and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Taylor needs you to sign so that every American has equal rights.
Support the Equality Act
760,392 have signed Taylor Swift’s petition. Let’s get to 1,000,000!

Last year, the House has passed the Equality Act, which would protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in their places of work, homes, schools, and other public accommodations. The next step is that the bill will go before the Senate.  
While there’s no information yet as to when the Equality Act will go before the Senate for a vote, we do know this: Politicians need votes to stay in office. Votes come from the people. Pressure from massive amounts of people is a major way to push politicians towards positive change. That’s why I’ve created this petition to urge the Senate to support the Equality Act.
Our country’s lack of protection for its own citizens ensures that LGBTQ people must live in fear that their lives could be turned upside down by an employer or landlord who is homophobic or transphobic. The fact that, legally, some people are completely at the mercy of the hatred and bigotry of others is disgusting and unacceptable.
Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally.
