The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 25, officially threw its support behind proposed legislation that would establish a California LGBTQ+ Commission.
The proposed commission would advise the state Legislature and governor on policy matters, collect data, review and assess programs, and provide recommendations that respond to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community, according to the motion. In June last year, the board adopted a motion by Supervisors Solis and Janice Hahn to create an LGBTQ+ Commission in Los Angeles County, which recently held its first meeting.
According to the motion, 520 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced across the country in 2023 in more than 40 states, 84 of which were signed into law. In June alone, 490 such bills have been proposed, according to the motion.“The commission will be an important demonstration of California’s commitment to being a civil rights leader and will help ensure that the voices of the most vulnerable members in our community are heard at the highest levels of government,” the motion reads.
