At this moment, America’s views on gay rights are undergoing
a radical transformation. That which was taboo only a generation ago, such as
same-sex marriage, is now increasingly accepted
by the American society (although, in
fairness, they have hardly
been embraced in all regions of the country).
For this reflection, consider the state
of gay rights here and around the world. How does America’s LBGT record compare
to those of other countries? Which countries do a better job than us of
securing protections for their gay citizens? And conversely, which countries
does the United States lead on these issues?
