Every year, The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) releases a map of lesbian and gay rights around the world. The most recent edition, released in May 2012, is a reminder that, while things are certainly getting better for some LGBT people, much of the world's queer population still faces life-threatening consequences for being themselves.

Check out the maps below, and be sure to check out the ILGA report for more information.
