Housing refers to \u201cProtection from being unfairly evicted, denied housing, or refused the ability to rent or buy housing,\u201d while the Employment section addresses local workplace protections (or lack thereof) for LGBTQ workers. The third, Public Accommodations, addresses local laws offering protection from being denied services or entry to public spaces (retail shops, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>The feature was home-brewed during something Trulia calls \u201cinnovation week,\u201d where employees come together to share progress and collaborate on ideas. The company\u2019s own internal Pride group helped build the feature out and it draws from data collected by the Movement Advancement Project, a nonprofit that works to advance non-discrimination policies for LGBTQ people in the U.S.<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, national housing and employment non-discrimination laws only protect some classes, such as sex, race, age, color, religion, and national origin,\u201d&nbsp;Correia&nbsp;writes. \u201cThat means explicit protections for people who identify as LGBT do not exist at the federal level and are inconsistent at the state and local levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a queer person myself, genuinely helpful and normalizing tools like these are always refreshing. All Trulia listings now include the new data, indicating that the company views this as an uncontroversial asset for its diverse user base, not as something politically contentious targeted only toward users in LGBTQ-friendly regions.<\/p>\n<p>Odds are if you\u2019re a queer person moving to a new state this won\u2019t be the only research you do on your rights locally, but it\u2019s still handy at a glance. Beyond the current tool, it\u2019s nice to hear that Trulia intends to build out from this simple feature to make its platform more inclusive moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud of this new feature, but acknowledge that the LGBT community isn\u2019t the only group without explicit federal protections,\u201d Correia said. \u201cLGBT specific data is a starting point for our Local Legal Protections feature. We\u2019re always looking into data sources that will give house hunters the information they need to find the right place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2018\/02\/07\/trulia-lgbt-listings-real-estate-local-legal-protections\/?ncid=rss\">TechCrunch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homebuying ain\u2019t easy.
