Fighting for LGBTQ+ Rights at a Legislative Level
Stay up to date on important legislation with our 2026 bill tracker
We lead advocacy on legislation that shapes the lives of LGBTQ people and the communities we serve. This bill tracker reflects our current status as the lead organization advancing policy through direct advocacy, coalition building, and legislative strategy. Each bill listed here shows our position, whether we are championing, supporting, or opposing, based on impact, equity, and lived experience.
This tracker is updated throughout the legislative session to keep community partners advocates and the public informed. We name what we are fighting for what we are pushing back against and why. Transparency matters. Accountability matters. This is how we move policy with purpose and hold systems to the people they claim to serve.
LGBTQ+ Marylanders need strong advocates now more than ever as recent years have seen a rapid increase in anti-LGBTQ+ policymaking, rhetoric, and violence nationally. Maryland is not immune to these trends, and FreeState Justice’s Policy Team works every day to push forward pro-LGBTQ+ bills while shutting down discriminatory ones. We are building and joining coalitions that push our government officials to support our community, and we want your help with this work.
