LGBT News is part of a larger site -- Equaldex (http://equaldex.com) is a crowdsourced database of LGBT rights, showing every law related to the LGBT rights in each country and region.

I created LGBT News because there was a lack of other information outside of the actual laws in each country and region. When you visit Russia's page (http://equaldex.com/region/russia), you might assume that it's a little more LGBT-friendly than it is, but if you see some recent headlines about LGBT rights in Russia, it might give you a totally different impression.

When you submit news to LGBT News, you tag it with a country or region so that the news is then surfaced to that country's page.
