Question

1. which of the following statements about lgbtq americans is true today?

states dont have to recognize same - sex marriages performed in other states.
someone can be denied housing due to their perceived sexual orientation.
states legally must recognize the stated sex or gender of transgender americans.
it is legal for a state to criminalize homosexual behavior.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: After the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, states must recognize same - sex marriages from other states, so this is false.
• Option 2: While there are federal and some state protections, in practice, housing discrimination based on perceived sexual orientation still occurs (not all areas have comprehensive non - discrimination laws covering this fully), so this statement can be true.
• Option 3: Many states do not legally have to recognize the stated sex or gender of transgender Americans; there are ongoing legal battles and varying state policies, so this is false.
• Option 4: Since Lawrence v. Texas, states cannot criminalize consensual homosexual behavior, so this is false.

Answer:

B. Someone can be denied housing due to their perceived sexual orientation.
