AI Summary
This bill, the Fair and Equal Housing Act of 2023, aims to extend the protections of the Fair Housing Act to individuals who face discrimination based on their sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Specifically, the bill amends the Fair Housing Act to add definitions for "sexual orientation" and "gender identity", and to prohibit discrimination in housing on the basis of these characteristics, in addition to the existing protections against discrimination based on race, color, religion, handicap, familial status, and national origin. The bill also amends the Civil Rights Act of 1968 to prohibit intimidation in fair housing cases on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
