The civil rights group warns of what it calls an “unprecedented and dangerous' rise in discriminatory laws in some states, saying more than 70 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law so far this year.
A Progress Pride Flag held above the crowd of LGBTQ+ activists during the Los Angeles LGBT Center's"Drag March LA" on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023.
Sounding the alarm about the current political environment, the nation’s largest organization devoted to the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans said advisories warning against travel to dangerous places aren’t enough to help people already living in so-called hostile states.
