Gaysexuality was decriminalized at the federal level in the United States through the landmark Supreme Court decision of Lawrence v. Texas in 2003. The court struck down a Texas statute that criminalized sexual acts between same-sex couples, declaring such laws unconstitutional. This judgment set a precedent that rendered similar anti-sodomy statutes across states unenforceable, thereby federally decriminalizing Gaysexuality in private, consensual settings.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

Before Lawrence v. Texas, some states had already decriminalized sodomy. The first state was Illinois in 1962.

On 31 March 2016, Federal District Court struck down Mississippi's ban on same-sex couple adoptions. On June 26, 2017, the United States Supreme Court reversed an Arkansas Supreme Court ruling that allowed a law listing parents by gender on birth certificates to stand. The new SCOTUS ruling allowed both same-sex spouses to be listed on birth certificates. These court rulings made adoption by same-sex couples legal in all 50 states.

The FDA announced changes to blood donor eligibility policy on 2nd April 2020, reducing the MSM deferral period from 12 months to 3 months, it is not legally binding but most agencies and the American Red Cross treat it as such.

After a series of recommendations, the FDA has moved to a 12 months deferral.

Though the deferral impacts all MSMs who have had sex with a man since 1977, the policy did not go into effect until 1983.  The policy applied retroactively to 1977.

Censorship became "other punishment" in the state of Texas, and in Florida Govt. DeSantis wants to ban LGBT topics from being discussed in schools.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

In all Federal positions, discrimination based on sexual orientation is against the law in instances related to work and employment.  In non-federal government jobs, it is based on the state's laws as no federal protections currently exist for non-employees.  Additionally, even federal employees could face discrimination unrelated to work in areas of life such as housing, health care, etc.  In fact, many groups are advocating the repeal of protections or the introduction of laws to permit discrimination.

This ruling applies at both the state and federal level. 
 
Furthermore, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled on April 20, 2012 that an employer who discriminates against an employee or applicant on the basis of the person’s gender identity is violating the prohibition on sex discrimination contained in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled on April 20, 2012 that an employer who discriminates against an employee or applicant on the basis of the person’s gender identity is violating the prohibition on sex discrimination contained in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

New policy goes into effect barring individuals with a "condition" known as "gender dysphoria."

Transgender individual can serve, however, the policy "will require an individual to have completed any medical treatment that their doctor has determined is necessary in connection with their gender transition, and to have been stable in their preferred gender for 18 months, as certified by their doctor, before they can enter the military."

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals are permitted to serve openly in the military, however, transgender individuals are still banned.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell was the historic compromise signed by President Bill Clinton authorizing people who are LGBT to serve in the military provided they didn't disclose sexuality.  The law also removed the ability for others in the military from asking for a service member's orientation.

Since April 11th, 2022, the United States allows people to have an X gender on their passports at a national level. 
 
Other IDs are still dependent on state laws.

Mixers is een gay duikbar. De mixers zijn goed en er is een buitenterras. Elke week organiseert deze levendige Gaybar in de buurt populaire thema-avonden, waaronder karaoke, ladies night en dragshows. Het is vrij klein, dus het kan zijn dat je mensen tegen het lijf lopen op de dansvloer - zeker een manier om wat de lokale bevolking te ontmoeten.

Bericht van de eigenaar: "Na meer dan 30 jaar de gemeenschap te hebben bediend, heeft Grand Central helaas zijn deuren gesloten. Gezien de overweldigende uitdagingen die zijn ontstaan ​​door de pandemie en onze door alleen dranken aangedreven activiteiten, waren de operaties niet duurzaam terwijl we ons voorbereiden op het volgende hoofdstuk. We waarderen iedereen van onze klanten en supporters en bedanken hen voor hun langdurige loyaliteit; -gemeenschap en zal er altijd naar streven om rentmeesters te zijn van kwaliteit, groei en behoud om ervoor te zorgen dat het karakter van de buurt trouw blijft aan zijn vorm." Grand Central is de grootste Gayclub van Baltimore. Het is gelegen in Mount Vernon op loopafstand van Inner Harbor. Het heeft een grote dansvloer, een lounge boven en een pub. Deze club is al jaren een steunpilaar van de Gayscene in Baltimore. Helaas is het verkocht en wordt het omgevormd tot luxe appartementen. Voorlopig is het nog steeds open en zeker de moeite waard om te bekijken.
