Wait wtf? Can LGBT+ people really be denied jobs/apartments in the US? (Brit here, forgive my ignorance)

It honestly depends on the individual state and county at times. We have 50 states and some laws are determined by the individual state and not the federal government. Each state is divided up into little sections called counties. Counties contain cities, towns, and villages. Rights for LGBT+ individuals are dependent by the individual state (and sometimes county) here. In some states, anyone LGBT+ can be denied education, housing, and a job for being LGBT+. In some states (like Wisconsin), anyone gay or bisexual can't be denied education, housing, or employment but transgender individuals can. In some states, you can't discriminate against LGBT+ in any of those areas. I don't know other areas off of the top of my head (like adoption, hate crimes, etc). Here's a comprehensive list of the laws state by state. Scroll down the section that says "State-by-State Summary table of LGBT rights in the United States": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_United_States
