Orlando Massacre Comes After Lawmakers in U.S. Filed More Than 200 Anti-LGBT Bills

In a tweet that went viral after Sunday’s attack on an LGBT nightclub in Florida, ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio wrote: "The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this. No." The attack has also renewed calls for lifting what advocates say is a medically unnecessary ban on blood donations from many gay and bisexual men. "Democracy Now!" speaks with Hannah Willard of Equality Florida.
