(CNN)For the first time in its four-decade history, America's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer civil rights organization has declared a national state of emergency for members of the LGBTQ+ community, the Human Rights Campaign said Tuesday.

"LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency. The multiplying threats facing millions in our community are not just perceived -- they are real, tangible and dangerous," the group's president, Kelley Robinson, said. "In many cases they are resulting in violence against LGBTQ+ people, forcing families to uproot their lives and flee their homes in search of safer states, and triggering a tidal wave of increased homophobia and transphobia that puts the safety of each and every one of us at risk."
