Abstract

During the Nevada 81st Legislative Session in 2021, two groundbreaking bills were passed and signed into law that will significantly impact the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals and those living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The first bill, Senate Bill 275, modernizes outdated and ineffective laws that criminalize HIV. Senate Bill 109 requires government entities in Nevada to collect sexual orientation and gender identity and expression (SOGIE) demographic information to have a better understanding of the number of LGBTQ+ individuals living in Nevada and their overall health and well-being. These bills will help LGBTQ+ Nevadans, and those living with HIV, to have better health and well-being outcomes.”

“Like one’s skin color, African descended people’s natural hairstyles have served as a basis of African descendants’ racial enslavement, segregation, stigmatization, and discrimination throughout the United States since they arrived on this land—in most cases, forcibly and brutally so. More contemporarily, the denial of educational opportunities, employment, and access to public accommodations on the basis of their natural hairstyles or hair texture is a common occurrence for African descended women, girls, men, and boys.
