The United States has come a long way when it comes to gay rights. Today, the nation is home to over 120 million people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), and nearly 20 percent of all Americans are members of one of the country’s many LGBT communities.
And while we’ve come a long way from the days of the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy , there remains work to be done before full equality can be achieved across all sectors of society. As LGBT activists continue to fight for greater inclusion in schools, workplaces, and elsewhere, they must also remain vigilant against attacks on their civil liberties that threaten to roll back progress made so far.
