The Rainbow Map ranks 49 European countries on their respective legal and policy practices for LGBTI people, from 0-100%.

“Moves in the UK, Hungary, Georgia and beyond signal not just isolated regressions, but a coordinated global backlash aimed at erasing LGBTI rights, cynically framed as the defence of tradition or public stability, but in reality designed to entrench discrimination and suppress dissent.”
- Katrin Hugendubel, Advocacy Director, ILGA-Europe

(KTNV) — Announced from a press release from the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, or DHHS, March 21-25, 2022 is LGBTQ Health Awareness Week as proclaimed by Gov. Steve Sisolak. Organized by the National Coalition of LGBTQ Health, this year marks the 20th Annual Health Awareness week. The week helps elevate awareness and highlights unusual and essential health needs for the LGBTQ community. “Live Out Loud for LGBTQ Health,” Sisolak wrote. “Everyone is encouraged to talk openly about LGBTQ health and help bring visibility because we are not truly equal until every person is afforded the same rights & opportunities.” Studies have shown that queer woman , gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning or queer, intersexual and asexual, or LGBTQIA+, people are often not treated with the respect that all patients deserve, which reinforces some societal emphasize and stigmas even within the health care system in Nevada.
