Pro-gay activist organization Human Rights Campaign has ranked over 500 U.S. cities, including all 50 state capitols, in a “best” to “worst” list on how they score on LGBT inclusivity issues.

HRC has in the past been criticized by some conservative groups for looking to demonize Christian beliefs, however.

HRC released its sixth annual Municipal Equality Index last week in partnership with the Equality Federation Institute, which found that as many as 68 cities, higher than ever before, received perfect “100” scores when it comes to policies and practices that it said were inclusive to LGBT people.

“This year’s MEI paints a vivid picture: cities big and small, in red and blue states alike, are continuing our progress toward full equality, regardless of the political drama unfolding in Washington, D.C., and in state legislatures across the country,” said HRC President Chad Griffin in a press release.

“Today, the MEI serves as a vital tool for business leaders and municipal officials alike when it comes to economic development. CEOs know that in order to attract and retain the best employees, they must grow their companies in places that protect LGBTQ citizens from discrimination and actively open their doors to all communities,” Griffin added.
