LGBTQ+ Policies Under Gov. Milton Shapp
In 1975 Milton Jerrold Shapp (1912–1994) was the first governor in the U.S. to prohibit discrimination toward LGBTQ+ state employees. Shapp went on to establish the Pa. Council for Sexual Minorities, the first governmental body in the nation devoted to developing public policy for the LGBTQ+ community. He issued a proclamation for Gay Pride Week in 1976 and later expanded the nondiscrimination policy to companies with state contracts.
