Georgia, the Russia-adjacent country, decriminalized homosexuality in 2000, theoretically allowing letting gay families to live openly (just without any of those bothersome health benefits). But without full equality under the law, it's as important as ever to have groups like the Inclusive Foundation, a safe space for LGBT Georgians — which was raided by police [...]

In his interview with Newsweek (mentioned earlier by Chris Steller), Gov. Pawlenty said he regretted a 1993 vote to expand the states anti-discrimination laws to include sexual orientation and gender identity and that they law should be changed.

Opinion: It seems that the issue of relations between the LGBT community and the black community has remained contentious. It's even more problematic if you toss the black LGBT community in there. In this country, the dialogue gets so charged so quickly that inevitably any attempt at productive discussion is usually shut down. The tension reached fever pitch in the aftermath of Proposition 8 , and most recently when the District of Columbia...

- 2009 proved tumultuous, hopeful for LGBT Californians (wickedgayblog.blogspot.com)

The rate at which students use and hear negative language about lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) people is huge. In the USA over half of all students report hearing homophobic remarks often at school.
The common use of anti-LGBT language is directly related to an even bigger problem – the bullying and harassment of LGBT students. 9 out of 10 LGBT students report being harassed at school in the last year. Over one-third of LGBT...

You would expect an organization like Amnesty International — which dubs itself "working to protect human rights" — to view LGBT equality as paramount in this day and age.
