For over a decade, the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) Corporate Equality Index (CEI) has operated less like a voluntary survey and more like a protection racket with a glossy annual report. Companies submitted, complied and bragged about their LGBTQ-friendliness. The alternative – public shaming, activist investor pressure, reputational artillery – was too costly to contemplate. Then, rather suddenly, it wasn’t.

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation has again named the University of Alabama at Birmingham a leader in "LGBTQ healthcare equality."

The president of the Faith, Family, Freedom Coalition of Metro Mobile, Dr. Scott Catino, spoke this week to the Mobile City Council about his concerns with woke policy and the indirect impact those policies can have on residents.

The City of Birmingham was awarded the highest possible score from the Human Rights Campaign in its Municipal Equality Index for 2022, which rewards scores for cities based on factors such as providing transgender-inclusive health care benefits and employing an “LGBTQ+ Liaison” among other criteria.

The city of Mobile’s LGBTQ liaisons and the Southwest Alabama Inclusion Project gathered Thursday for a “Queer Town Hall.”
