LGBTQ+ HISTORY & POLICY
Explore an in-depth history of the LGBTQ+ community throughout America from theHistory Channel, from the timeline of the historic Stonewall Riots, gay culture in the roaring 20s, a gay Revolutionary War hero and more! Federal, state of Illinois and local Cook County laws state that it is illegal to discriminate against any individual based on gender identity and sexual orientation. If you or your client experience any discrimination, make sure youreport it to the Commission of Human Relations. Also, be sure to check out the resources that are available with theU.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
As of January 20, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 13988: “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation,” which expands the discrimination protections previously offered solely on the basis of sex to the categories ofgender identity and sexual orientation.
