We are seeing unprecedented momentum in the national movement to secure equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans.Still, the greatest opportunities for policy victories that improve the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are in the states — where the work is hard but the impact is great.
A new report from Movement Advancement Project (MAP) examines the wave of state legislation that censors discussions of race and LGBTQ+ people in schools, creates a hostile climate for students, and undermines public education. The report was released in partnership with Equality Federation.
