F&M Global Barometers®
Using universal human rights principles, the Franklin & Marshall Global Barometers ® (FMGB) quantify the state of LGBTQI+ human rights in 204 countries and territories.
The FMGB are comprised of four separate, interrelated barometers: the F&M Global Barometer of Unified LGBT Rights™ (GBUR), the F&M Global Barometer of Gay Rights ® (GBGR), the F&M Global Barometer of Transgender Rights™ (GBTR), and the F&M Global Barometers LGBTQI+ Perception Index™ (GBPI).
Take the LGBTQI+ Perception Index Survey!
It’s live! The F&M Global Barometers team is pleased to announce that the 2026 F&M Global Barometers LGBTQI+ Perception Index (GBPI) is now available. Cumulatively, the 2022 and 2024 iterations of the survey received over 200,000 responses from individuals in 130 countries. The 2026 version includes two additional language options.
The GBPI gives the global LGBTQI+ community a chance to share their voice by answering six simple questions about their sense of safety, acceptance, fear, and experiences with violence and discrimination. The responses are used to inform policy and research and to advance LGBTQI+ human rights rights for all.
Together, we can make our voices heard – take the survey today.
