TAG24 NEWS is covering the biggest stories impacting LGBTQ+ communities across the US.

LGBTQ+ individuals are facing growing threats as right-wing lawmakers attempt to crack down on their ability to live their lives openly.

Transgender people are particularly under threat, as Republicans push bans on gender-affirming medical care, sports participation, bathroom usage, and more. Hateful rhetoric and violence toward trans and non-binary individuals are on the rise, alarming human rights advocates.

Gay marriage – which became legal nationwide in 2015 under President Barack Obama – has also faced renewed attacks. Advocates are afraid the US is experiencing a backsliding that could deprive many of hard-fought freedoms.

Amid the increased attacks, LGBTQ+ communities and supporters continue to resist violence and erasure, and to celebrate love in all its forms.
