Global Sexual Orientation and Gender-Identity Laws : Supporting Versus Limiting National Achievements

Abstract

After examining 185 nations from across the globe, what do we know about laws affecting LGBT individuals? What are the strongest predictors of affirming laws; where and why do we find barriers and lack of support? Are we moving forward or backward, or are we standing still? How difficult is it going to be to build fully LGBTIQ inclusive society in a country that is or is becoming more nationalistic?
