AI Summary
This bill, the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2021, aims to extend the protections of the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination based on a person's sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity). Specifically, the bill amends the Fair Housing Act to define "sex" to include sexual orientation and gender identity, and to prohibit discrimination in housing-related activities such as the sale, rental, and advertising of dwellings, as well as in mortgage lending and other real estate transactions. The bill also amends the Civil Rights Act of 1968 to prohibit intimidation in fair housing cases based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
