Ralph Norman on Civil Rights |
The bill adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of groups that are federally protected from discrimination in employment, public accommodations, housing, and access to public education. It amends the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which protects individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.
South Carolina has no hate crime laws and offers no statewide protection against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Instead, LGBTQ residents rely on a patchwork of municipal laws, with the strongest protections found in cities like Columbia and Charleston.
Jim Clyburn could not attend the vote. He released a statement praising the bill's passage. Republican Rep. Ralph Norman voted against it.
