Amidst the rise of legislative attacks against the LGBTQ+ community, particularly highlighted by the over 1,000 proposed bills, 15 states stand out for their protective measures. These states, identified by the Movement Advancement Project, have robust nondiscrimination laws in areas like healthcare, education, and family rights, along with protective shield laws for gender-affirming care. California is noted for its comprehensive protections that promote inclusivity in employment, housing, and parental rights. This reflects a stark contrast to the hostile environment created by a wave of new anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the country.
California offers comprehensive nondiscrimination laws in key areas such as employment, housing, and health care, ensuring protections for LGBTQ+ individuals across multiple spheres of life.
Despite an alarming rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislation across the U.S., federal protections for marriage equality and anti-discrimination are still in place, providing a safety net for many.
