Human Rights Campaign declares state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans under attack.

The Human Rights Campaign has declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans in response to the surge in discriminatory legislation sweeping state houses this year. The organization has released a guidebook pointing to laws it deems discriminatory in each state, along with “know your rights” information and resources to help people relocate to states with stronger LGBTQ+ protections. The HRC is calling for action from people in power at every level of government and the business community to fight for LGBTQ+ rights with the same fervor as they’ve fought for abortion rights.
