Municipal Equality Index 2019

The MEI examines how inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQ+ people who live and work there. Cities are rated based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and the city leadership's public position on equality.

The 2019 MEI is the eighth annual edition and rates a total of 506 cities on 49 different criteria from every state in the nation.
