Human Rights Campaign declares national state of emergency for LGBTQ+ community in the US.

The Human Rights Campaign has declared a "state of emergency" for LGBTQ+ Americans due to an "unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year." The organization has issued a guidebook to help ensure safety for LGBTQ+ residents and travelers alike, including health and safety information, summaries of state-specific laws targeting LGBTQ+ Americans, "know your rights" information, and additional resources. This comes as LGBTQ+ Americans across the country begin to celebrate Pride Month.
