Anti-LGBT legislation spreading in states

Human Rights CamnpaignLawmakers have introduced more than 85 anti-LGBT bills in 28 state legislatures. While religious refusal bills in Indiana and Arkansas have made headlines and were signed into law, anti-LGBT bills in other states, such as Florida and Texas, are still pending.

As of April 6th, anti-LGBT legislation proposed in Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming had been defeated or failed to meet key legislative deadlines, but more than 60 bills are still active in other states.
