Most LGBT people in the state are protected against employment and housing discrimination. Most LGBT students in the state are protected against higher-education discrimination.

Famous quotes containing the word rights:
“In our governments the real power lies in the majority of the community, and the invasion of private rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not from the acts of government contrary to the sense of the constituents, but from the acts in which government is the mere instrument of the majority.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
