2021 State Equality Index

The State Equality Index (SEI) is an annual comprehensive report on statewide laws and policies that affect LGBTQ+ people and their families. Published by the Human Rights Campaign in partnership with the Equality Federation, itʻs a valuable tool for creating a comprehensive view of where the LGBTQ+ community has made legislative progress and where we have seen setbacks.

HRC Foundation Interim President Joni Madison writes, “This year, our nation saw the beginning of a new pro-equality presidential administration, one that helped advance LGBTQ+ progress across the nation. While we celebrate new federal leadership, anti-equality state legislators across the country rolled out attacks in unprecedented numbers..There is urgent work ahead to defeat the forces of hate and discrimination and to address the fundamental injustices that have corrupted our institutions for generations.”
