Greetings, Fair Housing for All is leading a charge urging President Obama to issue an Executive Order banning sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination in federally assisted housing. There are over four million units of federally assisted housing across our country. This Executive Order would be similar to what President Kennedy did in 1962. At that time, his Executive Order 11063 prohibited discrimination in federally assisted housing on the basis of race, color, creed, or national origin. Later, Executive Orders 12259 and 12892 added sex, disability, and familial status. Kentucky Fairness Alliances joins Fair Housing for All urging President Obama to issue an Executive Order extending the principle of equal opportunity in federally assisted housing to the LGBT community. Will you do the same? You can sign the petition here. Enter "LGBT Housing Equality" in the campaign field during signing. It’s been 46 years since President Kennedy's action - it's time to act on this. In fairness, |
