Hillary Clinton hails Florida’s proposed anti-LGBT discrimination bill

Hillary Clinton is applauding state lawmakers for considering a proposal to prohibit gender- and sexuality-based workplace discrimination.

In a statement released by her campaign Tuesday, Clinton said establishing nondiscrimination protections “would be a critical step forward for both Florida and the nation.”

“I’m heartened to see the business community working hand in hand with both Republicans and Democrats to turn words into action,” she said in the prepared statement. “This is a win-win for both Florida families and the state’s economy. As president, I will fight for full federal equality for LGBT Americans and ensure protections like these become the law of the land nationwide.”
