Did you know that 76% of Americans and a majority of Alaskans support federal laws that would protect LGBTQ+ Americans from discrimination? Yet today, 21,000 LGBTQ+ people in Alaska still lack legal protections against discrimination in housing, healthcare, and employment.

Discrimination is a fact of life for the LGBTQ+ community – especially LGBTQ+ elders. We enjoy the rights and protections we have today because our community pioneers refused to be invisible by raising their voices, taking to the streets, and demanding equality.

Enacting comprehensive, federal non-discrimination legislation would make sure that every LGBTQ+ person in Alaska — and around the country — is protected from discrimination.

Send a letter to your senators telling them that Alaska wants equality.
