Tammy Baldwin: “The Equality Act makes simply clear that in the United…”

“This is simply a matter of right and wrong. I, for one, believe that every American deserves to be treated and protected equally under the law. The Equality Act makes simply clear that in the United States. We will not tolerate discrimination based on sexual orientation, based on gender identity, just like religion, race or ethnicity. Equality is not a privilege. It is what we are owed as American citizens. And I'm committed to making that promise a reality.” (03:43–03:59)
