In the U.S. , lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people (LGBT) continue to face endemic violence, legal discrimination, and other human rights violations on account of their sexual orientation or gender identity. In 27 states, there are no explicit statewide laws at all protecting people from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing and public accommodations and only 1 state has a law that protects people of the lgbtq+ community and that is wisconsin. What the United States need to do along with other countries is to pass laws that protect lgbtq+ people because they are human beings just like everyone else and have the same human rights as us because we are no different from them.
