The state of Wisconsin, a key battleground state in the 2024 presidential election is a reflection of Americans' overwhelming rejection of MAGA attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and democracy itself. A total of 79% of Wisconsin residents support non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people with 73% supporting same-sex marriage. A majority of Wisconsinites also support legalized abortion in all or most cases.
