Municipal Equality Index: How does your town score?

October 9, 2018

In this political moment, as we face unprecedented challenges to fairness, justice, and democracy at the federal level, we look to localities to lead the way in advancing equality for the LGBTQ community. Equality Federation is committed to our partnership with HRC on the Municipal Equality Index because it sets a bar that most localities want to reach. Its scores allow cities and the advocates on the ground to take stock of their progress towards legal equality for LGBTQ people, marking important steps forward as we work for lived equality for our entire community.
