The 2010 legislative session is right around the corner and Equality Florida has been working hard to introduce legislation that will ensure equality for Florida’s LGBT community.

To support the passage of these vital bills, Equality Florida will be hosting our annual Lobby Week in Tallahassee so that LGBT and allied Floridians can meet with their legislators and ask them to support pro-equality legislation. If you have a story about not being able to adopt or have an experience with job or housing discrimination, come to Tallahassee March 15-17 and share it with legislators.
