About
The Franklin & Marshall Global Barometers, comprised of the F&M Global Barometer of Gay Rights (GBGR®), the Global Barometer of Transgender Rights (GBTR™), and the Global Barometers’ LGBTQI+ Perception Index (GBPI) are designed to measure state-and societal-level protection or persecution of SOGI minorities worldwide. The barometers are housed at Franklin & Marshall College, an undergraduate liberal arts institution established in 1787 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
