Home > Opinion > Anti-LGBT bills move southern states backwards
By Bethany Stacy–
Last summer, the United States made a huge stride toward equality for the LGBT community when the Supreme Court declared the ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional. LGBT people and their allies all over the country rejoiced as gay marriage was finally legalized. Hope at last.
Fast forward to now and it seems like many conservative states are trying hard to reverse the progress.
During the months following this historic decision, we saw stubborn individuals with local power like county clerk Kim Davis (who unfortunately just has to be from Kentucky) attempt to reject it.
