LGBTQ+ Pride Month is starting to show its colors around the world....

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, leading to restrictive abortion laws in most GOP-controlled states, LGBTQ+ advocates are worried about losing ground too, said Kevin Jennings, CEO of nonprofit civil rights organization Lambda Legal.
50% : Greece this year legalized same-sex marriage, one of three dozen nations around the world to do so, and a similar law approved in Estonia in June 2023 took effect this year.
42% : In the U.S. in April, a federal appeals court ruled North Carolina and West Virginia´s refusal to cover certain health care for transgender people with government-sponsored insurance is discriminatory.
38% : In 1999, President Bill Clinton proclaimed June as Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.
37% : Progress such as the 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide could be lost without political and legal vigilance, Jennings said.
