Human Rights Campaign Declares State of Emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans
TL;DR Summary
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States for the first time in its history, following a surge in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year. HRC has issued a national warning and downloadable guidebook for the LGBTQ+ community, including health and safety resources, a summary of state-by-state laws, “know your rights” information, and resources designed to support LGBTQ+ travelers as well as those already living in hostile states. The guidebook will arm LGBTQ+ people with resources and information to help ensure safety in all 50 states.
