The HRC found that more than 100 anti-LGBTQ+ provisions had been tacked on to must-pass legislation since the 118th congress began in January 2023.
HRC president Kelley Robinson stated, 'The American people deserve leaders who rise above divide-and-conquer politics and keep the country moving forward,' reflecting the urgent need for progressive leadership.
Despite the onslaught of anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, pro-LGBTQ+ lawmakers have fought back, significantly defeating over 50 anti-LGBTQ+ riders in the NDAA.
Notably, the HRC report highlights the rise in LGBTQ+ representation, including the appointment of Laphonza Butler as the first Black lesbian senator in U.S. history.
