Laws that affect the LGBT community vary greatly from state to state, and from country to country.

Here are some highlights as of 2012:

  • 6 states plus Washington DC allow same-sex marriage (It will be 7 states once California's Proposition 8 is overturned)
  • 8 states offer civil unions that give almost all of the state-level marriage rights
  • 4 states offer limited partnership rights
  • 28 states allow employers to fire someone for being gay
