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.
