Did you know that the majority of Americans and 76% of Mainers support federal laws that would protect LGBTQ+ Americans from discrimination? These laws do not exist in every state, making discrimination 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. Without discrimination protections, LGBTQ+ elders face harsh consequences especially in housing, long-term care, and even healthcare settings.

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

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