Thirty-eight cities scored 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s third annual Municipal Equality Index (MEI), which measures a city’s support for LGBT rights.
“From Mississippi to Montana, mid-size cities and small towns have become the single greatest engine of progress for LGBT equality – changing countless lives for the better,” HRC President Chad Griffin said in a statement.
Cities scoring perfect marks have increased steadily, starting with only 11 in 2012 and increasing to 25 in 2013.
