The Human Rights Campaign's 2024 Municipal Equality Index was released and the scores for cities in North Carolina were a mixed bag. However, Greensboro earned the top score of 100. Honorable mentions are Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, and Winston Salem all scoring in the 90s. According to HRC:
"HRC's Municipal Equality Index (MEI) demonstrates the ways that many cities can — and do — support the LGBTQ+ people who live and work there, even where states and the federal government have failed to do so.
Unfortunately, many of the anti-LGBTQ+ state laws enacted this year negated or overrode positive efforts several cities have made over the years, especially in regard to cities offering inclusive health care policies for transgender employees or transgender family members of employees."
Here are the scores for the NC cities that were rated. 100 is a top score.
