At least 50 of those bills targeted transgender people specifically. We were able to defeat the overwhelming majority of these proposed laws. The two most sweeping anti-LGBT bills to become law, HB 1523 in Mississippi and HB 2 in North Carolina, we promptly challenged in court. In North Carolina, the passage of HB 2 has resulted

It will specifically focus on the context of the United States, and provide examples of what the American Multinational Microsoft does to address these

I also experienced that change, as it was that year that I discovered that I am pansexual, and then the next year that I discovered that I am agender.
