Equaldex’s country pages received a facelift! Check it out: LGBT Rights in Canada (or visit any country page on Equaldex).
The summary section of each country is a little more visual, highlighting homosexuality and same-sex marriage. The country’s shape animates as you scroll, and the visual design of the “history” and “subregions” sections were slightly cleaned up. The bottom of each page displays other countries in the same continent.

Transgender Awareness Week Infographic
In honor of Transgender Awareness Week, our youth health center, The Borum, is highlighting some of the challenges faced by trans and gender nonconforming youth.
Though we still need more research to better reflect the diversity of trans youth’s experiences, what we know now clearly points to a need to do more to care for and empower them.
Our thanks to GLSEN, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and all the other great organizations whose work contributed to the creation of this graphic.

US Opposition to Gay Marriage Continues to Fall [Study]
A new study conducted by Pew Research shows that the United States’ opposition towards gay marriage continues to drop.
The research shows that attitudes differ in each region — New England being the most in favor with South Central being the most opposed.
An interesting point Pew highlighted was the attitude shift among Black Americans.
In 2011, for example, 49% of whites favored legalizing gay marriage, compared with just 36% of blacks.
But the latest survey conducted two weeks ago found blacks divided more evenly on this issue than in the past, with 44% in favor and 39% opposed to allowing gay marriage. Among whites, 49% favored and 41% opposed same-sex marriage.

White House releases “Progress For The LGBT Community” infographic
The White House just published an inforgraphic that overviews the progress of LGBT Americans. @BarackObama tweeted: “From safer schools to ending #DADT, take a look at three years of progress for LGBT Americans.”
From their post:
“Three years ago, "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was the law of the land, and the words “lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender” appeared nowhere in the federal register.
Today, gay and lesbian men and women can serve their country without hiding who they are. The Obama administration has declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, and the President is working to make our schools safer for LGBT youth.
As we celebrate three years of progress for LGBT Americans under President Obama – and work toward another four – here’s a look at how far we’ve come since the President took office.“
