There has been an unprecedented upsurge of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation introduced across the United States, causing significant alarm in our community. These bills affect every sector of our lives, from schools to our homes, the workplace, sports, and health care.

To provide context, last year, 535 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced. Now, not even halfway through 2024, over 515 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have already been introduced. If this pace continues, we’ll exceed 1,000 anti-LGBTQ+ bills by the end of the year. No marginalized community has experienced this type of legislative and political hate in our country’s history.
