The following list of resources was developed by the Social Justice and Advocacy Committee in response to anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation being passed in the US. The ACLU is currently tracking 496 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills across 47 states, and according to The Human Rights Campaign 22 states have passed laws limiting gender affirming care for LGBTQIA+ individuals. These bills create an environment of uncertainty and extreme concern for counselors and the LGBTQIA+ community we serve, and we acknowledge the never-ending nature and complexity of these bills can be overwhelming for the LGBTQIA+ community. The Social Justice and Advocacy Committee hopes this list provides a start to assist counselors with tracking these types of legislation and resources to further support LGBTQIA+ clients.
