Human Rights Campaign Releases Municipal Equality Index

Cities are leading the way when it comes to supporting LGBTQ people and workers. That’s according to new rankings out today from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization.

The HRC released its 2017 Municipal Equality Index today, which looks at cities nationwide and ranks them based on their inclusion in municipal law and policy. And here in Arizona, the results are varied.

For more on this, we’re joined now by Xavier Persad, legislative council with Human Rights Campaign.
