HRC State Equality Index

Discrimination & Civil Rights · Mississippi · Free

Annual report card on state legislation and law affecting LGBTQ+ Americans. Worth contacting after being refused service, healthcare, or accommodations because you're LGBTQ+. Most discrimination organizations help draft demand letters, file complaints, and connect you with attorneys. Documenting incidents in writing the same day they happen makes any later claim much stronger. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
