On June 26, 2003, the Supreme Court ruled in _ Lawrence v. Texas
 _ that intimate consensual
sexual conduct is part of the liberty protected by substantive  due process
 under the  Fourteenth Amendment
 . The majority opinion, written
by Justice  Anthony Kennedy  ,
explicitly overruled _Bowers v. Hardwick,_ a 1986 decision that found sodomy
laws to be constitutional.  [20]  Despite this ruling, some states have not
repealed their sodomy laws  [21]  and local law enforcement officers have used
these statutes to harass or arrest gay people.  [22]  [23]  [24]  After the
repeal of "  Don't Ask Don't Tell  " in 2011, the U.S. Congress repealed sodomy laws in the U.S.
military in 2014.

After reelection during his second term on October 3, 1965, Johnson signed the
 Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965
 , which added "sexual deviation" as a medical ground for denying
prospective immigrants entry into the United States. The bill went into effect
on June 30, 1968.  [346]

In the 2020s, Republican-led states across the United States began rolling
back some LGBT rights, particularly those involving children and transgender
rights. These mainly include  bans on gender transitions  for minors, bans on  public
performances of drag shows  , among others.
On July 26, 2017, the Trump administration intervened in a private employment
lawsuit,  Zarda v. Altitude Express, Inc.
 The
Department of Justice, taking the opposite side of the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission, urged a federal appeals court to rule that the  Civil
Rights Act of 1964  does not prohibit job discrimination based on  sexual orientation
 .  [572]  [573]  The court
ruled, however, that it did.  [537]  On June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court
agreed, ruling 6–3 that "an employer who fires an individual merely for being
gay or transgender defies the law."  [574]

In 2005, Justice Hartmann found that the unequal age of consent was
unconstitutional under the  Bill of Rights Ordinance
 , violating the right to equality.  [5]  The ruling was upheld by
the  Court of Appeal  ,  [6]  but the provisions were not formally removed from the Crimes
Ordinance (Cap. 200) until 2014.  [7]  [8]

International human rights organisations and the governments of developed
democracies around the world have strongly condemned this Russian law.  [167]
[168]  [169]  [170]  The  Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Human Rights
 has
condemned this Russian statute and another similar one in Moldova (which was
later repealed) as discriminatory and has made clear that the Russian statute
in question is a violation of international human rights law, including the
right of gay children to receive proper information.  [171]  [172]  [173]
[174]  [175]  The  European Parliament  has condemned Russia for homophobic discrimination and censorship
[176]  and the  Council of Europe  has called on Russia to protect LGBT rights properly.  [177]  The 
European Court of Human Rights  had previously fined Russia for other
infringements of LGBT rights.  [178]  In 2012 the UN Human Rights Committee
ruled that a similar statute in the Russia's Ryazan Region was discriminatory,
infringed on freedom of expression, and was inadmissible under international
law – a Russian court in Ryazan later agreed and struck it down.  [179]  [180]
Some members of the gay community commenced a boycott of Russian goods,
particularly Russian vodka.  [181]

##  Summary table
Under President Clinton's leadership, federal funding for HIV/AIDS research,
prevention and treatment more than doubled.  [401]  And Clinton also pushed
for passing hate crimes laws for gays and for the private sector  Employment
Non-Discrimination Act  , which, buoyed by his lobbying, failed to pass the
Senate by a single vote in 1996.  [402]  Advocacy for these issues, paired
with the politically unpopular nature of the gay rights movement at the time,
led to enthusiastic support for Clinton's reelection in 1996 by the Human
Rights Campaign.  [386]

On June 25, 1952, the  Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952
 was vetoed by President Truman because he regarded the bill as
"un-American" and discriminatory. The bill prohibits "aliens afflicted with a
psychopathic personality, epilepsy, or a mental defect" from entry into the
United States.  [350]  [351]  [352]  Congress would later override his veto
and implemented the act into law.  [346]

In 1993, Pence published numerous anti-LGBT letters in the  Indiana Policy

His administration argued before the Supreme Court that Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 does not protect gay or transgender Americans from
discrimination (though the Court ultimately decided in favor of LGBT rights in
this matter).  [511]  [512]  His Cabinet rolled back non-discrimination
requirements for homeless shelters, allowing them to discriminate against
homeless transgender youth.  [513]  His Education Secretary,  Betsy DeVos
 , rolled back protections for LGBTQ
students.  [514]  The Trump administration sought to enable healthcare
discrimination.  [515]
The September 2020 judgement, in which a judge said “the differential
treatment accorded to same-sex married couples and opposite-sex married
couples… cannot be justified, and constitutes unlawful discrimination,”  was
seen as a victory for the city’s LGBTQ community

Its purpose was to enforce  federal laws that related to "conscience and
religious freedom"  ;
that is, to enable individuals and businesses to exempt themselves from
obeying nondiscrimination laws. On January 23, 2019, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) said that Miracle Hill Ministries, a foster
care agency in Greenville, S.C., could be exempted from an Obama-era
nondiscrimination regulation. Miracle Hill would continue to receive federal
funds and was allowed to refuse services to prospective foster parents who are
non-Christian or LGBT, although it was required to refer the rejected
applicants to another agency. HHS cited the  Religious Freedom Restoration
Act  (RFRA) as a basis for allowing federally funded Christian groups to
discriminate against non-Christians.  [580]  [581]

The federal law banning LGBT propaganda among minors was passed unanimously by
the Russian Duma; as the bill amended an existing child protection law, it is
difficult to know whether or not all of the MPs, and their respective
political parties, supported every aspect of the bill or not. A few political
parties without members in the Duma have expressed some limited support for
LGBT rights.  [ _ citation needed   _ ]
Federal laws passed on 29 June 2013 ban the distribution of "propaganda of
non-traditional sexual relationships" among minors.  [143]  [16]  [144]  [145]
Critics contend the law makes illegal holding any sort of public demonstration
in favour of gay rights, speak in defence of  LGBT rights
 , and distribute material related to  LGBT culture
 , or to state that same-sex relationships
are equal to heterosexual relationships.  [146]  [147]  [148]  [149]
Additionally the laws have received international condemnation from  human
rights  campaigners, and media outlets
that even display of  LGBT symbols  ,
such as the  rainbow flag  "Rainbow
flag \(LGBT movement\)") , have resulted in arrests, and incited homophobic
violence.  [15]
In late 2020, Ng, who had suffered from depression, died by suicide. Months

In  2000  , Pence's
congressional campaign website stated that Congress should fund the Ryan White
Care Act only after an audit confirmed that "organizations that celebrate and
encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV
virus" would be ineligible for funding, and that "resources should be directed
toward those institutions which provide assistance to those seeking to change
their sexual behavior."  [611]  [612]  The latter comment has been interpreted
by some as a statement of support for  conversion therapy
 , an accusation that was not
addressed until after Pence's election as vice president, when Pence's
spokesperson called the accusation a "mischaracterization."  [613]  However,
conversion therapy was endorsed within the Republican Party platform adopted
at the July 2016 convention.  [614]

##  Summary of protections in tribal nations
On 25 September 2017, the Court of Appeal reversed the High Court's dismissal
and ruled in favour of the woman, finding that her partner (who works in the
city) should be granted a spousal visa. While the legal definition of marriage
was not challenged in the appeal, chief judge  Andrew Cheung
 wrote that "times have changed and an
increasing number of people are no longer prepared to accept the status quo
without critical thought". His Lordship added that the immigration department
failed to justify the "indirect discrimination on account of sexual
orientation that QT suffers" and that "excluding a foreign worker’s lawfully
married (albeit same-sex) spouse or civil partner ... to join the worker is,
quite obviously, counter-productive to attracting the worker to come to or
remain in Hong Kong". The court ordered the woman and the Department of
Immigration to work together on an agreement and submit it to the court within
28 days.  [21]  [22]
