Compare LGBT Rights Between Any Country With Equaldex’s New Feature

Equaldex just launched a new tool that lets you compare LGBT rights and public opinion data between countries, states, and provinces.

The new tool lets you compare the legal status of homosexuality, same-sex marriage, adoption by same-sex couples, right to change legal gender, discrimination protections, ability for LGBT people to serve in the military, age of consent, blood donation, and conversion therapy. Many major countries include public opinion data as well.

Popular comparisons are now available on the sidebar of region pages, letting you easily compare a region with a similar region.

Graffiti In Mississippi: “No 2 Gay Marrage”

A series of graffiti incidents has occurred in Jackson, Mississippi, one of which reads, “NO 2 GAY MARRAGE (sic) KILL THEM.”

The graffiti appears on the side of a vacant building on West Capitol Street according to My Fox AL. The Human Rights Campaign has condemned the graffiti in a blog post, saying that “this hateful message does not represent Mississippi values.”

The Human Rights Campaign also called for Mississippians to “stand up and make it clearly known that these kinds of messages of hatred have no place in our society.”

Equaldex Launches New LGBT Organizations Feature

Equaldex, the crowdsourced LGBT rights knowledge base, introduced a new feature making it easier to find the LGBT organizations making a difference in each country and region.

The new LGBT organizations feature provides a database of organizations across the globe. Organizations are listed on each country page on Equaldex (example: LGBT rights in Israel) allowing users to find the organizations who are fighting for LGBT rights, or providing resources for LGBT people in that region.

Equaldex now offers a feature to browse all LGBT organizations, as well as a timeline of LGBT organization was founded. 

Organizations are also listed on Equaldex’s timeline of LGBT rights on each year’s page (example: 1990 in LGBT rights).

Equaldex’s organizations database is still growing. If your favourite organization is missing, please suggest it!
