The 5 Worst States for LGBT Rights

So the LGBT community has been hit hard this year, but many of the things have happened are positive.

For instance two supreme court cases are now up there for same sex marriage. I believe they will be decided in June 2013.

The LGBT community was targeted during this year's National Suicide Prevention week.

Oreo and kraft products came out in support for the community. Along with Kraft, General Mills also came out in support.

Plus scientists have been able to prove that Hoosexuality isn't genetic, its epigenetics.

So now its in the news about the worst five states in the U.S.A. for LGBT rights. And people are making it a big deal because of the 2 supreme court cases. I bet I'm not the only one curious to know which states they are.

5) California -I'm surprised on this one. California calims that it is one of the best states for gay rights. But they had a Proposition 8 that back in 2008 that claimed to ban same-sex marriage.

4) Mississippi -Only 13% of voters believe same sex marraige should be legal.

3) Michigan -I'm surprised this isn't number one. Detroit was basically named the most homophobic city this year. Same sex couples aren't even allowed to adopt here.

2) Tennesse -I understand this one, but then again you have all those country stars coming out in support of gays like Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts. They also passed a law saying that bullying is okay for religious reasons and such, but so did Michigan.

1) Virginia
