LGBTQ Rights Toolkit from Campaign for Southern Equality
About
The Campaign for Southern Equality has launched a new online LGBT Rights Toolkit (www.lgbtrightstoolkit.org) in order to address the urgent legal needs of LGBT Southerners. This online toolkit is designed to help LGBT Southerners – especially those in small towns and rural areas – understand and protect their rights.
The full report is available at: http://bit.ly/1zaDQxt.
The South is home to ⅓ of the national LGBT population and every LGBT person in the South lives as a second-class citizen in the most basic spheres of life and has unmet legal needs from employment to health care rights. This need is exacerbated by the reality that Southern states receive less than five percent of national funding from LGBT organizations.
