Equal Rights for the LGBTQ people of Pasco County

The Pasco County LGBTQ community deserves EQUAL PROTECTIONS! Under the current policies we are not a protected class and can be legally discriminated against for our Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and expression.

Let our County Commissioners know WE DESERVE EQUAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS.
SIGN THE PETITION.

We NEED an HRO!
What is that?

A Human Rights Ordinance is a policy passed on the local level (city or county) to prohibit discrimination based on certain characteristics. These policies often ban discrimination in housing, public accommodations, and employment. HRO policies most often ban discrimination based on race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, national origin and martial status.

A growing number of cities and counties are including sexual orientation and gender identity and expression in their policies. They understand that it is important to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in non-discrimination laws.

60% of Floridians are covered by municiple HRO's in the third largest state in the country. Communities enact these protections because they know having a diverse talent pool helps their community to thrive. Having these protections is quickly becoming the standard for cities and counties across Florida.

We are Pasco Pride. Check us out!
