America's largest gay rights organization is declaring a state of emergency for the first time in its existence.



The Human Rights Campaign says the LGBTQ+ community is under attack.



The warning comes just days into Pride Month.



According to the American Civil Liberties Union, state legislatures introduced more than 400 anti-LGBTQ+ bills in the first quarter of this year.



That's a new record and a higher total than all of 2022.



The Human Right's Campaign is releasing a new guide of state laws and resources to support residents and visitors in what it calls "hostile" states.
