Each legislative session, FreeState Justice's policy team travels to Annapolis to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ Marylanders at a legislative level. As an LGBTQ+ advocacy organization, while we focus on many issues, our efforts are always centered on bills directly related to the LGBTQ+ community and the defense of their rights in this state. This has allowed us to accomplish great things, like successfully blocking discriminatory anti-trans sports bans and ensuring trans communities have access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare. But beyond pushing for LGBTQ+-specific policies, what else can legislators do to ensure LGBTQ+ Marylanders' needs are met? To learn more about what policy issues were most important to LGBTQ+ voters in Maryland, FSJ's policy team partnered with SOURCE interns, a service-learning program at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Between January and March 2024, this team conducted ten in-depth interviews and one focus group discussion with 15 LGBTQIA+ Marylanders. While these interviews do not represent the views and opinions of the whole MD LGBTQ+ community, they do provide a snapshot of what many locals are worried about today. At the end of the collaboration, the students provided FSJ with a final report detailing the policy concerns that those interviewed described as most relevant to their daily lives. This report - now available on our website - will help guide FSJ's legislative, educational, and legal efforts during the 2025 legislative session.
