Alaska says it's now legal 'in some instances' to discriminate against LGBTQ individuals
By ProPublica

In June 2020, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that workplace discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation or gender identity was illegal, Alaska quickly moved to follow suit.
It published new guidelines in 2021 saying Alaska’s LGBTQ protections now extended beyond the workplace to housing, government practices, finance and “public accommodation.” It updated the website of the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights to explicitly say it was illegal to discriminate against someone because of that person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
The executive director for the state commission co-wrote an essay describing the ruling as a “sea change under Alaska law for LGBTQ+ individuals’ rights to be free from discrimination.”

Not only is the present majority US Supreme Court a bigoted homophobic organization, but apparently when asked to show the papers to a news organization and on his third attorney general this worthless governor thinks transparency requests are nothing more than toilet paper because his public record will then be exposed .......way to go Alaska...
