Advocates have had great successes over the past decade in securing the same rights for LGBTQ people as straight and cisgender people. State lawmakers legalized same-sex marriage in 2011. The Democratic takeover of the state Senate in 2018 paved the legislative way for the passage of the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act early the following year, which outlawed discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender expression in workplaces, housing and public accommodations across the state.
