女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋 (LGB) 人群的健康状况较差可能与公共政策有关。我们收集了 2013 年美国 50 个州、哥伦比亚特区（华盛顿特区或 DC）以及美国人口最多的 30 个大都市区禁止基于性取向的歧视的法律。为了促进未来的研究，我们对这些定律的某些方面进行了编码以创建数据集。我们按司法管辖区类型生成了描述性统计数据，并使用卡方检验测试了州法律的区域差异。 16个州（31.4%）禁止所有雇主基于性取向的歧视，25个州（49.0%）禁止公共就业歧视，18个州（35.3%）禁止政府合同歧视，21个州（41.2%）禁止私人就业歧视。 21 个州（41.2%）禁止住房做法（出售和租赁）方面的歧视，17 个州（33.3%）禁止公共设施方面的歧视。禁止歧视的地方（县/市）法律不太常见。美国人口普查地区（西部、中西部、东北部和南部）的各州法律存在显着差异。未来对这些数据的分析可以检验这些法律对各种结果的影响，包括男女同性恋群体的健康。
Poorer health suffered by lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) populations may be associated with public policies. We collected the laws that in 2013 prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation from 50 United States (US) states, the District of Columbia (Washington, DC or DC), and the 30 most populous US metropolitan areas. To facilitate future research, we coded certain aspects of these laws to create a dataset. We generated descriptive statistics by jurisdiction type and tested for regional differences in state law using Chi-square tests. Sixteen (31.4 per cent) states prohibited discrimination by all employers based on sexual orientation, 25 states (49.0 per cent) in public employment, 18 states (35.3 per cent) in government contracting, and 21 states (41.2 per cent) in private employment. Twenty-one states prohibited discrimination (41.2 per cent) in housing practices (selling and renting), and 17 (33.3 per cent) in public accommodations. Local (county/city) laws prohibiting discrimination were less common. State laws differed significantly by US census region – West, Midwest, Northeast, and South. Future analyses of these data could examine the impact of these laws on various outcomes, including health among LGB populations.
