We have officially declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States for the first time following an unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year.
More than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record. Our community is in danger, but we won’t stop fighting back — not now, not ever.
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, there was no national state of emergency specifically declared for LGBTQ+ Americans in the United States. However, it’s worth noting that the LGBTQ+ community has faced various challenges and disparities in areas such as healthcare, employment, and civil rights. Advocacy groups and activists continue to work towards achieving equal rights and protections for LGBTQ+ individuals, but there hasn’t been a national state of emergency declared specifically for this community. Please keep in mind that the situation may have evolved since my last update, and I recommend checking the latest news and official government sources for any recent developments.
