Gay rights in the US, state by state
I love informative data graphics. As a friend writes, regarding this one:
“The things about this graphic that people seem to not realize are: (a) the British are tracking our Civil Rights history better than we are, (b) although marriage rights are nice (in this graphic, icing on the figurative cake), there are innumerable basic rights and protections that the majority has and that the majority of states are like “meh, whatever” on, (c) these are just the written laws, not a metric of attitudes and “on the street” behavior (for better or worse, often worse) of the majority toward a minority, (d) oh Pennsylvania, we made April the official month of the Bible, but we’re nicely grayed”
“oh Pennsylvania” indeed.
