The document traces the state's significant milestones, including being the first state to enact anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ individuals in 1982, electing the first openly LGBTQ U.S. Senator, and having 13 openly LGBTQ state legislators. It acknowledges important legal achievements like same-sex marriage becoming legal in Wisconsin in 2014 and nationwide in 2015.
