As of January 1, 2023, there are 22 states, Washington D.C. (see state nondiscrimination laws here), and at least 374 municipalities that fully and explicitly prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing, and public accommodations. For a full listing of these municipalities, click the "City and County Listing" tab above. Note this count of municipalities does not include municipalities in states with statewide protections, or municipalities with only partial protection.
This map shows the percent of each state’s population with comprehensive protections: protected from discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity, in all three of private employment, housing, and public accommodations. While the vast majority of local ordinances are fully comprehensive, some ordinances protect only in certain areas (such as housing) or only based on sexual orientation. The portion of the public protected only by these partial ordinances are not included here. For more information about the scope of a state's coverage, including partial coverage, please see the city and county tab, or the detailed information in each state’s profile by clicking on that state in the map below.

Percent of the state population protected from discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity 
Percent of the state population protected by local ordinances from discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity- State has law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, but not gender identity
- State has law preventing passage or enforcement of local nondiscrimination ordinances
*Utah's nondiscrimination law explicitly enumerates both sexual orientation and gender identity, but only in employment and housing, not public accommodations. Since this map displays "ideal" coverage (all three of employment, housing, and public accommodations), Utah is shown here as being without full or ideal protections.
*Wisconsin's nondiscrimination law explicitly enumerates sexual orientation, but not gender identity. As a result, 100% of Wisconsin residents are protected from discrimination based on sexual orientation, but residents are only protected from discrimination based on gender identity if their local city or county has enacted such protections.
Note that enforcement mechanisms within these ordinances vary by jurisdiction. Note also that some jurisdictions may prohibit discrimination in public employment (i.e., government employees only), but only ordinances that prohibit discrimination in private employment are included here.
