Fair Wisconsin Inc., an advocacy-focused nonprofit that works to make Wisconsin a fair, safe, and equitable place for the state’s LGBTQ+ community, has launched a new feature on their website to help folks keep track of legislation that seeks to limit protections, allow discrimination, and target LGBTQ+ people.

According to their website, “In the last few years, Wisconsin has seen a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ+ rights, especially transgender youth. Fair Wisconsin has been on the frontlines, monitoring, tracking, and defending against these attacks.”

The tracker lists the bill number, the subject of the bill, and what, if any, actions have been taken to date by the State Assembly, the Senate, and the Governor, and whether the bill will positively or negatively affect Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ community.

It can be exceptionally difficult to stay up-to-date on every piece of legislation introduced at any given time, so tools like these are important. That is especially true in political climates like the one we currently find ourselves in, where controversial legislation can sometimes fly under the radar while people are focused on other stories or national headlines.

As of the time of this writing, there are nine bills currently being tracked on the website, five of which would negatively impact Wisconsin’s LGBTQ+ community, three of which would have positive effects, and one of which has the potential to affect people either way, depending on how the final bill is worded. The bills in question range in topic from trans athlete bans, trans healthcare bans, forced outing, non-discrimination protections, identity documents, and other issues.
