A stroll down memory lane with the master of the strongly worded letter and intellectual pretzel-knot-tying, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME):

Same sex marriage - Not formally legalized by statute in most States or in Federal law. Dependent on a precedent set by a 5-4 decision of SCOTUS in Obergefell v. Hodges.
LGBT Employment Non-discrimination - Prior to the SCOTUS decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, only 23 States had laws on the books preventing discrimination based upon sexual orientation.

Sodomy laws - are still on the books in many states but have been overruled by the 2003 SCOTUS decision in Lawrence v. Texas.
