Florida is the second-worst state in the U.S. for LGBTQ+ safety in 2024, according to a new report from SafeHome.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sunshine State, which earned an \u201cF\u201d grade, ranked 50th out of all states, and Washington, D.C., only came ahead of South Dakota at the No. 51 spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, Florida was the 15th worst state in the ranking. Its safety score plummeted this year because of \u201cnewer and harsher legislation,\u201d the website said. Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Delaware, which topped the 2024 list, all received \u201cA+\u201d grades for LGBTQ+ safety \u201cbased on their comprehensive pro-equality laws and low rates of hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people,\u201d according to the website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
