DO YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTHERN USA? TAKE THE LGBTQ+ SOUTHERN SURVEY
|
| LGBTQ+ people, especially those in the South of the US, have been historically excluded in research. It's time to change that. The LGBTQ Institute is partnering with Emory University to conduct their second survey of LGBTQ+ individuals in the South. This is a study of, by, and for Southern LGBTQ+ people, with the support of many communities and grassroots organizations. This research aims to amplify the voices of LGBTQ+ Southerners and highlight the issues affecting their lives to create a safe, welcoming and thriving South.

Both travelers and locals alike share welcoming and affirming experiences through LGBTQ+ protections and the celebration of the LGBTQ+ experience. In recent years, Portugal has doubled down on the acceptance of LGBTQ+ people with progressive changes in policies for transgender and intersex people, as well as stronger punishments for hate crimes.
