Today we are updating our LGBT State Status page. We have found a new source of information to factor into our decision that allows us to put additional weight on state laws that greatly affect how conventions run (such as bathroom bans or banning wearing clothes that do not match your birth gender).
This is still an imperfect method, as it doesn’t yet take into account laws that are not officially on the books but that are being discussed. For example: although only one state has officially passed an “anti-drag” bill, many statehouses across the country are debating the issue.
We welcome your suggestions on how to refine and perfect our methods, including data sources we may have not discovered yet. Leave a comment below or use the Contact form.
