courtesy: Human Rights Campaign

Because comprehensive civil rights protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans don't exist at the federal level, more cities and towns are passing ordinances prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ residents in housing, employment and public accommodations. Last month, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, in partnership with the Equality Federation Institute, released its sixth annual Municipal Equality Index assessing 506 U.S. cities and towns, including eight in Arkansas.
