The Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency on Tuesday for LGBTQ+ people living in the U.S., the first time the organization has made such a warning in its 40-year history.

The big picture: The historic declaration comes in response to an "unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year," HRC said in a press release.

Already this year, more than 75 bills targeting the LGBTQ+ community have been signed into law, per HRC.
HRC also released a guidebook, which includes a summary of state laws and various resources, including a guide for LGBTQ+ travelers and ways to advocate against laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community.

4. That would take too long.

Enough of these asshats have committed criminal acts that we barely know about. Time to start turning the resources towards putting a few of the higher ups in a cell. Time to put those who conspired to overthrow a lawful election in a cell. The GOP will return to its normalcy once you remove the wackos. And, we could be removing some of them as we speak. THEN, all that gerrymandering and biased voting laws would mean little. But...
