What makes Iceland so much higher than everyone else?
Beautiful example of “scientific study prooves that scientific studies conclusions depend on who orders it”
What rights vary from state to state? I imagine the greatest influence on a state’s score is public attitudes
55 seems… oddly high, with the laws certain red states are passing specifically to punish trans people
Seems like a reductionist view. LGBTQ+ being lumped as one group with completely aligned goals doesn’t get to the heart of the issue and isn’t great data. If the data sampled those for/against gay rights and split that out from other hot button issues, like competing in sports, gender ops in children, and otherwise took LGBTQ+ letter by letter, the field would likely not look nearly as dire.
What year was the data from? Utah has taken some huge steps backwards. Even the protections they had before always had exemptions for religious institutions, which hold huge amounts of housing and are among the largest employers
mississippi comparable to japan? here i come!
Iowa is NOT a good state. It is as bad as Florida which is a no-travel zone for trans people. Trans Iowans are losing healthcare and our civil rights protections. Both laws signed and the latter starts the first next month.
Pretty sure the only real differences here are on the T part. Gay rights are ubiquitous.
as a trans person, public acceptance depends alot more on if you are in a rural or urban area than the state, ive lived in florida and PA and Orlando Florida was alot more accepting socially than rural PA
I’m always impressed by Utah in charts like this. If the Mormons manage to be nice, why do all the crazies in the Midwest Bible Belt have to be assholes?
I get how the LG and T are relevant for the rights argument, but what differences in rights, laws and freedoms are there for the BQ+?

On an intuitive scale from 55 to 87!
