The report has a blunt warning not to view 2023 as a time of progress, marred by setbacks."In reality, this is a war against LGBTQ people in America and their very right and ability to openly exist," the report says.The legislative escalation has been unparalleled in the past two years, advocates say.nearly 80% of Americans saying they support nondiscrimination protections
MAP's analysis points to eight distinct legislative fronts that put the community in the crosshairs from school policies on transgender youths to the elimination of harassment protections to book bans. When a bill makes progress in one state, copycat language and similar bills quickly crop up in other states, the report notes, citing coordinated efforts by far-right lobbyists and extremist groups.
The report notes the increasing use of inflammatory rhetoric around some of these bills, depicting LGBTQ people as"predators" and "groomers," false and troubling narratives, advocates say.
