House Bill 2103 would close a loophole in the state that could let white nationalist groups establish communities under the guise of a private club or member-only organization by blocking such groups from restricting membership by race, color, and national origin to deny equal access to housing, employment, and public accommodations. The bill also expands anti-discrimination protections for employment, housing, and public accommodations to a person’s sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or expression.

Race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression; how anyone could justify housing discrimination on the basis of who other people are is asinine, and no legislator should be standing in the way of it.

It passed the Pennsylvania House of Representatives because the Democrats are in the majority there, but the Republicans have a 27-23 state senate majority, so it won't go to the Democratic governor's desk for signing unless Republicans vote in favor of it.
