DRAFT LGBTQ+ rights have been fought for in the streets, courtrooms, and legislatures, as well as in more private settings, person to person. These rights include protection from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender expression, recognition of marriage and the rights that come with it, and access to gender-affirming care.
