Barriers is an artwork+data visualization about the state of LGBT+ rights across the world.

Each edition is assigned 1 out of 197 countries. Four basic LGBT+ rights are represented as circles with barriers. The largest circle signifies whether homosexual activity is legal. The second-largest signifies same-sex marriage. The third one, same-sex adoption. The smallest one is the legality of gender change. One barrier means full rights. The more barriers, the more unequal rights are afforded to LGBT+ people.

The colors of the edition signify the country’s region and subregion.

The artwork adapts to different screen sizes and ratios, so I recommend exploring it on various devices or resizing your browser window.
