Anti-LGBTQ+ legislation is 'opening up language and vitriol and hate and assault on the community,' said one queer activist and psychotherapist.
For the first time in its 40-plus year history, the Human Rights Campaign has issued a"state of emergency" in response to a record number of bills introduced across state legislatures this year that has already surpassed numbers from 2022.
The 2023 legislative session included more than 525 bills introduced, of which 220 of them targeted transgender people. Of those 525, 76 had been signed into law as of Monday—more than any year on record, and more than double over last year. In comparison, 115 such bills were introduced in 2015. "Our number one priority will always be ensuring that LGBTQ+ people are safe and have the tools they need to defend and protect themselves against acts of hostility, discrimination and—in the most extreme cases—violence."
