These 8 U.S. cities failed an LGBTQ equality evaluation

Eight cities in the United States scored a zero out of 100 on the 10th annual Municipal Equality Index, which evaluates cities and towns based on the level of LGBTQ inclusion found in their local laws, policies and services.

LGBTQ advocacy groups Human Rights Campaign and Equality Federation evaluated 506 municipalities — including the country’s 50 state capitals and 200 largest cities — on 49 criteria for the index. The criteria included nondiscrimination protections, policies for municipal employees and city leadership.

This year’s zero-point earners span from South Carolina to Wyoming, and they all came in at zero on last year’s index, too. But on the flip side, 22 percent of cities earned a perfect score, up from 8 percent in 2012, the report’s inaugural year.

“If you’re scoring a zero, it’s because you’re making that choice. There are definitely some low-hanging fruit ways to get off of that zero place,” said Cathryn Oakley, the founding author of the index and the state legislative director for the Human Rights Campaign. “That is a statement on their end about how they’re willing to engage in these issues.”

Here are the eight cities that scored a failing grade on this year’s Municipal Equality Index:

Florence, Alabama

Jonesboro, Arkansas

Southaven, Mississippi

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Moore, Oklahoma

Clemson, South Carolina

Pierre, South Dakota

Rocks Springs, Wyoming

OK. Now evaluate 506 municipalities using a traditional values index.

Broken Arrow is a nice place, a suburb of Tulsa and really growing.

Who’s to say what is equal?
Sounds like a queer survey.

Ironic that Pierre should be so lucky as to be free of LGBTQ madness.
