Human Rights Campaign declares state of emergency for LGBTQ+ Americans in the US
TL;DR
The Human Rights Campaign has declared a national state of emergency due to the proliferation of anti-LGBTQ legislation in statehouses across the US. Over 70 bills were passed this legislative session, double last year's previous record, with more than 220 affecting transgender people. The HRC named Florida, Tennessee, and Texas as the most hostile states. The Alliance Defending Freedom called the HRC statement "slanderous," while HRC praised Michigan and Minnesota for expanding LGBTQ rights.
