Sign our “Act for Equality” pledge and we'll send you talking points to share with your friends, family, and other community members, as well as ways you can help support the LGBTQ community!
Many states and localities have established nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in areas such as employment, housing, and education, but 19 states still have NO explicit prohibitions for discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity written into in their state law.
We need the remaining 19 states to acknowledge that 80% of Americans favor laws protecting LGBTQ+ people against discrimination. We also need federal nondiscrimination legislation like the Equality Act to be passed by Congress.
Equal rights under the law improve mental and physical health, decrease stigma, and lead to clear and significant economic benefits. For transgender individuals specifically, living in states with more inclusive policies greatly reduces odds of discrimination.
