Lesbian and Gay Rights in the World
ILGA (International Lesbian and Gay Association)
has created an innovative global interactive map showing LGBT specific information for every country around the world. It highlights some stark truths, such as the countries that still apply the death penalty to homosexuals, but it also shows vividly the positive progress being made across the planet to ensure LGBT people everywhere are treated with respect and appreciation for the contribution that they make to the world. You can view the map at
