About

While President Biden signed an executive order on his first day in office combating gender identity and sexual orientation-based discrimination, it’s clear that LGBTQ+ Americans’ fight for civil rights continues nationwide.

Recent years have seen clear advancements in rights and protections for LGBTQ+ Americans, from marriage equality to the Supreme Court's decision preventing employers from firing LGBTQ+ identifying employees in June of 2020. However, at least 15 transgender or gender non-conforming Americans have been murdered as of May 2021, and more than 30 states have introduced legislation adversely affecting trans Americans - particularly trans youth. With the proposed Equality Act passing the House, what is the outlook for LGBTQ+ protection at the federal level?


During Pride month, The Hill will explore the impact of hard-fought wins and the road still ahead for the issues most affecting the LGBTQ+ community.


About

Recent years have seen increased protections for LGBTQ+ Americans. Still, leaders and advocates are working to achieve full equality for these communities nationwide.


From pending legislation like the Equality Act to advancements in visibility and equity in media, workplaces, healthcare, and governing bodies,

The Hill will explore the impact of hard-fought wins and the road still ahead for the issues most affecting LGBTQ+ communities this Pride month.
