Gay Travel Index 2026-US state ranking
I'm not American, but I'd like to know what you Americans think of this ranking.
I would especially like to know if there is a big difference between living as an LGBT person in states like New York, California, Massachusetts and in states like Arkansas and Tennessee (the latter being the worst). Not just at the legislative level, but especially at the social level. For example, is it risky to come out as a homosexual couple in a city (whether large or small) in Tennessee or Oklahoma? Is homophobia rare in the states that rank higher? How do you live your daily life there? Do you want to stay or emigrate?
