There are many such maps I’ve seen, though in search I’m finding many appear either somewhat out of date, unclear whether or which which data they are using, and lots that were originally posted on R***** that have since been removed (even in queer subs) temporarily cached by search indexes but with no provenance or explanatory detail.

The following are a selection of these sorted by my opinion of their overall quality and usefulness.

1. General LGBTQ+ safety ratings color-coded by state with recommended travel corridors and neighborhoods/cities overlaid (removed by R*****):

Note: some of the top-rated states surprise me, such as VA, unless it specifically refers to NoVA and cities like Alexandria. Likewise I would give TN a much lower current rating due to an influx of MAGA migrants since 2021. And MA doesn’t reflect the more recent high support (84%) of queer rights in public opinion compared to NH (88%). All to say, I wouldn’t treat this map (or really any that follow) as gospel.

2. 2022 PRRI research paper figure depicting public support for LGBT non-discrimination protections, color-coded by state:

3. Generic map depicting safety by state included in an article by PinkNews:

4. Right to change legal gender, by state, with no source citation or other justification (removed by R*****):

Edit: reordered 3 and 4, added links that aren’t dead, clarified some language, censored R***** references, added spoiler tags to lower quality maps to reduce height
