Lesbians, gays, bisexuals permitted, transgender people banned Unrecognized, only same-sex marriage official Unrecognized, same-sex marriage and civil unions banned Illegal (up to life in prison as punishment)įoreign same-sex marriages recognized only In cases where a law varies throughout a region (for example, a country where same-sex marriage is legal in some states or provinces but not others), the score is averaged among all states or provinces, weighted equally.įuture laws that have not gone into effect yet and past laws that are no longer in effect do not impact the region's current score. If the status of an issue is unknown, not applicable, or no data has not been added to Equaldex, the issue's score is completely discarded and not included in the ranking. Each topic is assigned a "total possible score" and a "score" is assigned based the status of the law using a rating scale that ranges from 0% to 100% (for example, if homosexuality is legal, it would would receive a score of 100, but if it's illegal, it would receve a score of 0.) Each topic is weighted differently (for example, if same-sex marriage is illegal in a region, it would have a much bigger impact on the score than not allowing LGBT people to serve in the military).
