Laws and ordinances that protect LGBT people, families, and communities are a patchwork in the USA. Our partners at the Movement Advancement Project have created a series of Equality Maps, which provide a quick snapshot of the current status of protections, state by state and issue by issue. Equality Federation collaborates with MAP and state-based organizations to produce and maintain the maps detailing local ordinances.
