The Anchorage Daily News says state officials planned to protect LGBTQ residents against discrimination — until things changed. 'The attorney general himself weighs in and says, 'No, that's not how we're going to do things,'' said the ADN's Kyle Hopkins.
Months ago, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s administration quietly modified a policy from the state Human Rights Commission removing protections for LGBTQ Alaskans from most forms of discrimination. The commission is now refusing to investigate related complaints.. Reporter Kyle Hopkins wrote the story and discussed his findings with Alaska Public Media’s Wesley Early. So explain what happened here.
And then the key moment was I was familiar with the state agency’s website, and it just explicitly says on that website, and has for years, it’s illegal to discriminate based on these factors. And so I looked at the Wayback Machine — the internet archive — and I just kind of went back month after month.
