To qualify for MAP membership, donors must have contributed $10,000 or more to a single LGBT organization or cause within the last year.

MAP also reserves the right to refuse or revoke membership of any individual or organization at any time.

Safe Schools Laws

United States Map
Law covers sexual orientation and gender identity (19 states + D.C.)
Law covers only sexual orientation (1 state)
School regulation or teacher code prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation (5 states)
Anti-LGB schools law or regulation (8 states)
No law protecting LGBT students (18 states)
* Law also prohibits discrimination based on a student’s association with a person with a protected characteristic, such as a parent’s sexual orientation or family status (6 states)
NOTE: There are two types of safe schools laws: non-discrimination laws and anti-bullying laws. States with either kind of law are reflected on this map. While some states, districts and schools have non-enumerated safe schools laws, research by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) finds that such laws have no impact on rates of anti-LGBT bullying. Therefore, states with such laws are not included on this map. Some states may interpret "gender" to include gender identity/expression. Such states are not reflected on this map.
