In the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, Biden team LGBTQ+ Engagement Director Reggie Greer often said that, if victorious, the new administration would need to "walk and chew gum" at the same time if they truly expected to advance queer rights. "We can't set aside any issue," he said in an October interview with the LGBTQ website them. "We are fighting to not only restore the soul of the nation but to get the country back on track on several priorities." Those priorities, laid out in sweeping fashion with The Biden Plan to Advance LBGTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World, provide a series of platform stances and action plans covering key issues like military service, health care, youth issues, discrimination, violence, and global rights — all told, the most comprehensive LGBTQ platform of any incoming president. Headlining the platform is the Equality Act, which Biden had promised to pass in his first 100 days in office — though he's already had to lower expectations, given the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the fallout from the Capitol coup attempt. First introduced in 2015, the Equality Act would effectively expand the Civil Rights Act to provide explicit anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people in virtually all areas of life, including employment, housing, credit, education, and public services.
