In the years since, progress toward equal protections for LGBT people has been remarkable and hard-won, but still geographically uneven.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969<\/a>, at the\u00a0Stonewall\u00a0Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood,\u00a0members of the LGBT community faced off violently with the city police.<\/p>\n

Since then, significant advances have been made in much of Western Europe and the Americas, while LGBT rights lag in most of Africa and Asia, but not enough.<\/p>\n

Through Statista<\/a> and SIGNAL<\/a>, we take a look at how\u00a0the\u00a0gay liberation movement and the modern fight for\u00a0LGBT rights<\/a> in the United States have evolved.<\/p>\n

Across the country, same-sex marriage is allowed in some states (such as New York, Connecticut, or New Hampshire), while others recognize same-sex marriages but do not perform them. In numerous other states, the issue is currently being debated, and it is expected that some of them will follow suit and either allow or recognize gay marriage in the future.<\/p>\n

The other side of the coin<\/h1>\n

In 2019, while homosexuality is allowed in many countries, it is still\u00a0punishable by death\u00a0in at least ten others<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Homosexuality was\u00a0already illegal\u00a0in the small South-East Asian country with offences punishable by up to 10 years in prison, however, countries like Nigeria, Somalia, Qatar (which will host the FIFA World Cup in 2022), Afghanistan, Mauritania, Yemen, Sudan, and Somalia, and recently Brunei, among others, established homosexuality\u00a0as an offence punishable by stoning to death.<\/p>\n
