Wyoming’s civil rights laws prohibit discrimination in employment and housing based on race, sex, disability, and age, but lack explicit protections for sexual orientation or gender identity. Enforcement is relatively limited, relying heavily on federal statutes and judicial precedent. Civil rights concerns often involve rural access, tribal jurisdiction, and public service equity. In a state that prioritizes privacy and limited government, civil rights attorneys play a vital role in helping individuals assert their rights in courtrooms and agencies when state-level structures fall short.
