The Human Rights Campaign's annual state legislative report covering state constitutional amendments and bills affecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people and their families nationwide. Highlights from the 2006 report include the first-ever defeat of an anti-gay state constitutional amendment as well as the advancement of additional rights for same-sex couples in New York, Rhode Island, California, Maine, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. The report also shows that in 2006, state legislatures defeated more anti-gay constitutional amendments than they passed.
