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.

Introducing Interactive United States LGBT Rights Maps on Equaldex
By popular demand, Equaldex has introduced United States maps showing the legal status of each LGBT issue, in addition to its global maps.

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.“
