Advocating for LGBTQ+ Protections and Policy in Maine

For more than four decades, EqualityMaine has been a leading voice in the fight for justice, equity, and inclusion of LGBTQ+ people in Maine.

From the State House in Augusta to communities across Maine, we advocate for comprehensive LGBTQ+ protections, challenge discriminatory policies, and work in solidarity with allies to defend hard-won rights.

We recognize that Maine’s legal and political systems were not originally built to protect LGBTQ+ people. That’s why we are committed to educating our community about how to influence Maine’s LGBTQ+ laws and policy—from school board decisions to statewide legislation.

EqualityMaine provides timely updates and action alerts to help you engage with policymakers, speak out against anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, and support those affected by policies that fail—or harm—our communities. Together, we’re building a Maine where everyone is protected, empowered, and equal under the law.
