GOP’ Anti-LGBTQ Proposals Moving in U.S Legislatures at Alarming Pace

WASHINGTON D.C. – (04-10-22) – Republican state legislatures across America are moving their anti-LGBTQ proposals at an alarming pace. Everything from Don’t Say Gay bills that have now been signed into law in Alabama and Florida to bathroom bills.

According to JRL CHARTS LGBT News Division, Republicans are targeting their conservative base ahead of the mid-term elections by at least 325 bills of anti-LGBTQ legislation so far this year.

Out of the 325 bills proposed by Republicans, at least 130 of them are targeting transgender rights specifically. That dwarfs what the GOP pulled off last year when they introduced 268 anti-LGBTQ proposals in 2021.
