The nation’s largest LGBT+ advocacy group has issued a “state of emergency” declaration for LGBT+ people in the US following volatile state legislative sessions and an unprecedented wave of bills targeting gay and transgender Americans.
The Human Rights Campaign’s first-ever emergency declaration on 6 June comes on the heels of hundreds of state-level bills impacting LGBT+ people, including 220 bills specifically targeting trans and nonbinary Americans and their healthcare, according to the organisation. More than 75 such bills have been signed into law.
