The Wayne State University campus played host to a White House conference Friday focusing on the homelessness and housing discrimination issues that continue to plague the Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans-Gender (LGBT) community. The summit was held in response to the recent passing of the Equal Access to Housing Rule, which now prohibits Housing and Urban Development participants from discriminating against LGBT applicants. Many federal officials were in attendance, including a good portion of the Obama Administration. WDET's Quinn Klinefelter interviewed HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan who was a keynote speaker during the conference.
