Discrimination

Fewer than half of all U.S. states have laws protecting LGBTQ people from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. There are no federal laws explicitly protecting LGBTQ people.

New England has been a leader in the journey toward LGBTQ civil rights. All six New England states have laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.
