During the 2022 legislative session dozens of states will consider LGBTQ legislation. Some bills will seek to advance the comprehensive nondiscrimination laws that LGBTQ people so sorely need, while others will almost certainly attempt to single out and target LGBTQ people for unfair and unequal treatment.
Freedom for All Americans was tracking each piece of LGBTQ legislation in the Legislative Tracker, in partnership with the Equality Federation. Below, find all 2022 legislation related to LGBTQ discrimination, including school policy bills, youth medical care bans, and youth sports bans.
