Human Rights Campaign Officially Declares ‘State of Emergency’ for LGBTQ+ Americans

As many cities begin to celebrate Pride this June, on Tuesday, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) officially declared a state of emergency for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals in the United States. What makes this news even more unnerving is that it is the first time the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization calls for this alert since its 40-year history.
