Municipal Equality Index 2013
This year cities across the country, including in Idaho, Kentucky, Georgia, Montana, and Missouri, continued to prove that municipalities will act to support equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people even where states and the federal government have failed to do so.
These cities reflect a movement that is happening at the local level across the country. The Municipal Equality Index demonstrates the ways that many cities can—and do— serve the LGBT people who live and work in those cities. The results of this year’s evaluation tell the story of the momentum of municipal equality
- In 2012 we rated 137 cities with a total population of 55,853,651; in 2013 we rated 291 cities with a population total of 77,851,822.
- 25 cities received perfect scores (100 points) in 2013; 11 did in 2012.
- Of cities that scored 100, 8 cities came from states without comprehensive relationship recognition and without statewide non-discrimination laws; 2 did in 2012.
