Even as the "culture wars" supposedly rage, the reality is that gay,
lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights are making slow and steady
progress across the country. Gays and lesbians now have protection
against workplace discrimination in states covering nearly half the
U.S. population, rights for same sex partnerships and adoptions have
made gains in at least
ten states,
and laws making violence or bullying against gays, lesbians, bisexual
or transgender (GLBT) people a crime are increasingly being
enacted.
