LGBTQ PANIC DEFENSE BAN

The LGBTQ panic defense is a legal plan that asks a jury to consider a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity as justification of a violent reaction on behalf of the assailant toward another person, up to and including murder. The LGBTQ panic defense is an unfair, immoral legal strategy that has no business in our state or anywhere else for that matter.
