Think marriage equality solved the problems of LGBT civil rights in the USA? John Oliver wants to remind you that no, we're not there yet.

Because while same-sex marriage may be legal in America, states still have plenty of avenues to discriminate based on sexual orientation, especially involving employment and housing.

According to Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment, a federal anti-discrimination law is the next, essential step towards achieving true equality for LGBT Americans—who may be able to get married, but could potentially lose their job for posting their wedding pictures on Facebook, with no legal recourse.
