St. Petersburg once again received a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index, which measures municipalities' LGBTQ-friendly policies and services.
The Sunshine City has received a perfect score every year since 2014. Mayor Ken Welch said, ““We are pleased to be recognized by the Human Rights Campaign 11 years in a row, but we understand that perfect scores on the Municipal Equality Index do not happen by accident. Intentional inclusivity and inclusive progress are part of what we build upon every day, from policy to practice. Our city’s growth is stronger when everyone plays a part in it, and we remain dedicated to advancing equity for all.”
