Congress is considering blocking a decision by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to withdraw protections that prevented lenders from discriminating against borrowers based on sexual orientation or gender identity. If approved, this resolution would force the agency to keep those anti-discrimination rules in place rather than allow them to be removed. The measure affects banks, credit card companies, and other lenders, as well as LGBTQ+ individuals seeking loans or credit.
