East Lansing has high marks in LGBT equality, according to a national advocacy group.
Human Rights Campaign, widely regarded as a premier advocacy group for LGBT rights and equality, released a report measuring LGBT equality in the U.S. and scored cities for factors such as non-discrimination in city employment.
East Lansing scored an 86 out of a possible 100 points.
East Lansing Mayor Nathan Triplett said the survey was conducted before East Lansing had established a domestic partnership registry, a 12-point item on the scorecard. That item’s inclusion would have boosted the score to 98.
