Movement Advancement Project | Local Nondiscrimination Ordinances

In the absence of federal or state nondiscrimination protections, many municipalities have taken action to protect their LGBTQ friends, family, and neighbors from discrimination. These local nondiscrimination ordinances (NDOs) do so by prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity in private employment, housing, and/or public accommodations.

As of January 1, 2023, there are 22 states, Washington D.C. (see state nondiscrimination laws here), and at least 374 municipalities that fully and explicitly prohibit discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing, and public accommodations. For a full listing of these municipalities, click the "City and County Listing" tab above. Note this count of municipalities does not include municipalities in states with statewide protections, or municipalities with only partial protection.

This map shows the percent of each state’s population with comprehensive protections: protected from discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity, in all three of private employment, housing, and public accommodations. While the vast majority of local ordinances are fully comprehensive, some ordinances protect only in certain areas (such as housing) or only based on sexual orientation. The portion of the public protected only by these partial ordinances are not included here. For more information about the scope of a state's coverage, including partial coverage, please see the city and county tab, or the detailed information in each state’s profile by clicking on that state in the map below.

Percent of the state population protected from discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity
Percent of the state population protected by local ordinances from discrimination based on both sexual orientation and gender identity
State has law prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, but not gender identity
State has law preventing passage or enforcement of local nondiscrimination ordinances

*In Alaska, Kansas, Florida, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, the state's nondiscrimination law does not explicitly enumerate sexual orientation or gender identity, but the state's agency or attorney general has stated it explicitly interprets the state's existing protections against sex discrimination to include protections for both sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, and public accommodations. For more detail, see the state nondiscrimination law maps.
*Utah's nondiscrimination law explicitly enumerates both sexual orientation and gender identity, but only in employment and housing, not public accommodations. Since this map displays "ideal" coverage (all three of employment, housing, and public accommodations), Utah is shown here as being without full or ideal protections.
*Wisconsin's nondiscrimination law explicitly enumerates sexual orientation, but not gender identity. As a result, 100% of Wisconsin residents are protected from discrimination based on sexual orientation, but residents are only protected from discrimination based on gender identity if their local city or county has enacted such protections.

Note that enforcement mechanisms within these ordinances vary by jurisdiction. Note also that some jurisdictions may prohibit discrimination in public employment (i.e., government employees only), but only ordinances that prohibit discrimination in private employment are included here.

Percent of Adult LGBTQ Population Covered by Laws

*Note: These percentages reflect estimates of the LGBTQ adult population living in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Estimates of the LGBTQ adult population in the five inhabited U.S. territories are not available, and so cannot be reflected here.

As a result of a June 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, people in all states can seek recourse for employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity through the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and federal courts.
