WASHINGTON — San Diego, known affectionately as America’s Finest City, lives up to that reputation in the HRC’s first-ever Municipal Equality Index.

The groundbreaking index, released today, is a rating system designed to measure LGBT inclusion in municipal law.

“I'm proud that the entire nation knows that San Diego stands for equality," San Diego City Councilmember Todd Gloria said today.
