                        EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW

  (Ms. TITUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TITUS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Equality 
Act.
  For far too long our Nation has failed to read and live up to the 
words that adorn the front of the United States Supreme Court: Equal 
Justice Under Law.
  We now have a rare opportunity to explicitly push our Nation to live 
up to its founding ideals and make that phrase ring true for all 
Americans. No matter who you are or whom you love, under the Equality 
Act you will be guaranteed the exact same protections as everybody 
else.
  LGBTQ individuals should not have to worry when they try to access a 
small business loan, seek healthcare, or buy a home.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to cosponsor this historic civil rights 
legislation, and I look forward to casting my vote in support of its 
passage.
