📊 Update Equaldex

[paarriagadap]

Summary

Tracks: owid/owid-issues#2396

Update the Equaldex LGBT+ rights dataset from the 2025-04-07 snapshot to 2026-05-14. Refresh of the legal-status data for 16 LGBT+ issues across 195 countries, plus a new tracked issue (hate-crime-protections) and a refactor of the snapshot pipeline so future updates are one command instead of three.

Headline numbers

• 17 published charts upgraded on staging (etl indicator-upgrade auto ✓).
• 257 grapher variables ingested (2 new top-level indicators + their categorical count/pop aggregates).
• Long-format snapshot: 47,350 → 58,030 rows (+22.6%); year range 1950–2025 → 1950–2026.
• Same-sex marriage now legal in 39 countries (was 38).
• New: hate-crime-protections issue (~1,200 historical rows).

Snapshot diff

File	Old rows	New rows	Δ
equaldex.csv (long-format)	47,350	58,030	+22.6%
equaldex_current.csv	3,570	3,808	+6.7%
equaldex_indices.csv	238	238	0

Schema: unchanged across all three files.

Categorical surface change (value_formatted column):

• New Illegal (other penalty) for homosexuality — already covered by the existing CATEGORIES_RENAMING map (no garden change).
• New Death penalty as punishment for censorship — added a mapping entry so 41 rows aren't silently dropped.
• Brand-new issue hate-crime-protections — full CATEGORIES_RENAMING block added (six categorical values, ordered liberal → restrictive).

Other changes: Equaldex renamed the region French Southern Territories → French Southern and Antarctic Lands; .countries.json updated to match.

Year range: equaldex.csv extended from 1950–2025 to 1950–2026; indices file's year_extraction moved from 2025 → 2026.

File size: main long-format CSV grew from 14.1 MB → 19.2 MB (+36%).

Meadow step

etlr succeeded on the first try (0.6 s, no errors). No code changes needed:

• Dedup-by-(country, year, issue) block absorbed the new hate-crime-protections historical rows without producing duplicate index keys.
• No mixed-type object-column repacker issues.
• The carried-over safe_types=False on the main read was already sufficient.

Output diff highlights:

• Adds the new hate-crime-protections issue with historical coverage back to 1985.
• Deeper military history for several countries.
• Corrects adoption values for the United States across 2017–2025 (upstream change).
• Three current rows lost their 2025 entries for conversion-therapy, housing-discrimination, and intersex-infant-surgery — these still exist historically; the producer simply doesn't have a 2025 "current" reading for them.

Garden step

Two preemptive edits to etl/steps/data/garden/lgbt_rights/2026-05-14/equaldex.py (commit 040844c0f):

1. CATEGORIES_RENAMING['hate_crime_protections'] — new block, six values ordered from "Sexual orientation and gender identity" (most protective) down to "No protections", matching the convention of the existing discrimination-style blocks. Without this, the new issue would have failed the post-pivot column-set assertion.
2. CATEGORIES_RENAMING['censorship'] — added "Death penalty as punishment": "Death penalty as punishment" so the new value (40 historical + 1 current row) isn't silently dropped by map_series.

Two new indicator blocks added to the garden .meta.yml:

• hate_crime_protections (historical) and hate_crime_protections_current — mirror the structure of discrimination / discrimination_current (title with (historical) / (current) suffix, presentation.title_public, display.name, etc.).

Greenland-from-aggregates fix (commit 29aec8659). The legacy Greenland workaround re-appended Greenland's rows inside select_only_sovereign_countries, which meant Greenland was being summed into Europe / World aggregates. The fix moves the snapshot/re-append to run() and does it after both region-aggregation functions, so Greenland still shows on country-level / map charts but no longer contributes to regional totals. Effect on 2025 totals, for example: Europe homosexuality_legal_count 44 → 43; World 111 → 110.

Garden runs clean (2.7 s, only routine PerformanceWarning and region-aggregation NaN warnings). Garden diff vs the 2025 build is consistent with the upstream data changes above — no unexpected NaNs or value-range shifts in the indices.

Country harmonization audit

One real bug surfaced and fixed (commit 390fa0f9d):

• Equaldex now ships French Southern and Antarctic Lands where it used to send French Southern Territories. The harmonization map's source key was updated; the target stays French Southern Territories (the canonical OWID region name).
• After the fix: zero harmonization warnings; zero garden-output entities outside OWID's canonical regions/income groups (out of 202 entities).
• One mapping entry (Pitcairn Islands) targets a non-canonical name, but that entity is filtered out by select_only_sovereign_countries before reaching Grapher, so it's harmless. Mapping kept as documentation.
• No .excluded_countries.json for this step (N/A).

Full audit: workbench/equaldex/harmonization_audit.md.

Grapher step

Built and uploaded to staging cleanly (no code changes needed). 257 variables ingested, including the two new hate_crime_protections* top-level indicators and their 14 categorical breakdown aggregates (count + population variants). No ghost-variable warnings.

etl indicator-upgrade auto then upgraded 22 charts (17 published + 5 drafts) from the 2025 dataset IDs to the new 2026 IDs on staging.

Metadata quality fixes

Commits 5135b4b08, 8f52f5e4a, da3da26a6, 6e55fc873, a0eb8d493:

• Added presentation.attribution_short: Equaldex and display.numDecimalPlaces: 0 to definitions.common — propagates to all 257 indicators (previously none had these set).
• Sentence-cased "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" → "Don't ask, don't tell" in the military_current description key (consistency with the historical variable and OWID's sentence-case rule).
• Removed a stray "do" in intersex_infant_surgery_current.description_short ("that do differ from" → "that differ from").
• Dataset intro bullet added as the first description_key on every indicator, via a reusable {definitions.description_key_dataset_intro} Jinja reference (single source of truth, prepended to the four indicators that carry their own description_key lists).
• Slimmed index descriptions: ei, ei_legal, ei_po each now carry just two bullets — the shared dataset intro, plus a one-sentence definition of the index combined with a "For more information, visit the [Equaldex Equality Index methodology]" pointer.
• description_processing now documents the Greenland exception inline on the sovereignty bullet ("Greenland is the one exception: we keep it as its own country row but exclude it from regional aggregates").
• description_from_producer_legal_index policy count bumped from "15" → "16" to match Equaldex's own weights table on the methodology page (the producer's prose still says "13", but their table lists 16 — we side with the table).

Style guide / typo / Jinja-spacing scans all clean. Indicator metadata coverage check: zero missing-mandatory-field issues across the 257 variables. dataset.update_period_days: 365 is in place. All external URLs resolve.

Greenland handling (NOTE in equaldex.py)

Greenland is treated as a Danish territory by the sovereignty source (Butcher and Griffiths 2020) and by OWID's regions dataset, but Equaldex publishes a Greenland-specific record. The handling:

• Country-level charts: Greenland appears as its own row (verified — 77 rows, 1950–2026, with the raw status columns populated).
• Regional aggregates: Greenland is excluded from Europe / World / etc. The snapshot/re-append happens in run() after the two region-aggregation functions, not inside select_only_sovereign_countries as it used to (commit 29aec8659).
• The # NOTE: comment in equaldex.py remains in place as a heads-up to the next maintainer; ISD's isd_countries table still doesn't include Greenland in any year, so the workaround is still load-bearing.

Snapshot pipeline refactor (engineering)

Replaced the three per-file upload scripts (equaldex.py, equaldex_current.py, equaldex_indices.py) with a single self-contained snapshots/lgbt_rights/2026-05-14/equaldex_extract.py following the un/<ver>/ilostat_extract.py pattern (commits 16375bc6d + 2510c305b):

• One click command: etls lgbt_rights/<version>/equaldex_extract hits the API, builds all three frames, and uploads via Snapshot(...).create_snapshot(data=df, upload=upload).
• tenacity retry + joblib.Memory disk cache (.cache/equaldex/<SNAPSHOT_VERSION>/) for resumability. The version is part of the cache path (commit d8dea320d, after a Codex P1) so a future run at a new SNAPSHOT_VERSION starts with a fresh cache instead of silently reusing the previous year's API payloads.
• Missing EQUALDEX_KEY now hard-errors instead of logging-and-continuing with apiKey=None.
• country_list.json reformatted one entry per line for reviewable diffs.

Future updates no longer require the manual "write CSVs locally, then etls --path-to-file three times" workflow.

Codex review

One P1 from Codex, addressed and resolved:

• Cache freshness in equaldex_extract.py — fetch_region was memoized to .cache/equaldex with no freshness key, so a future run at a new SNAPSHOT_VERSION would silently reuse the previous year's API payloads. Fixed in commit d8dea320d by moving the cache root to .cache/equaldex/<SNAPSHOT_VERSION>/ — retries within a single extraction still reuse fetched regions, but next year's run gets a clean namespace. Thread PRRT_kwDOGEqCzM6CT6WI resolved.

Slack announcement draft

# Data update comms draft — Equaldex

Source: `lgbt_rights/2026-05-14/equaldex` · Branch: `data-equaldex-update-481707-private` · Generated: 2026-05-15T08:45:17Z

## What dataset(s) did you update?

Equaldex — Equaldex

## When was this data released? When is the next scheduled release / our plan for next update?

Released: rolling — Equaldex is a continuously updated crowdsourced database; data fetched on 2026-05-15. Next: there is no fixed release schedule; OWID re-pulls roughly once a year.

## Who is the data source(s)? Is there anything our users should know about them?

Equaldex. The data is crowdsourced by Equaldex contributors and gathered from the official Equaldex JSON API — "LGBT Rights by Country & Travel Guide | Equaldex. (2026). https://www.equaldex.com/".

## What's the coverage of the data in terms of years and countries/regions?

Covers 1950–2026, 195 countries, plus the seven OWID continental aggregates (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America, World). Coverage by issue varies — newer policy areas like hate-crime protections have fewer historical observations than older ones like the legality of same-sex sexual activity.

## How many charts did this update affect?

17 published charts (moderate).

## What does this dataset help our users understand about the world, and why is it important they know that?

- Equaldex tracks LGBT+ rights across 16 distinct legal issues — from the legality of same-sex sexual activity and marriage, to employment and housing discrimination, gender-affirming care, hate-crime protections, military service, and more — for nearly every country in the world. It's the most comprehensive picture of where LGBT+ people are protected by law and where they aren't.
- Legal protection is still highly uneven across regions. Same-sex sexual activity is criminalized in 61 countries (≈ 31% of those covered), and in seven of those, the death penalty is on the books.
- Same-sex marriage has expanded substantially over the last two decades: 39 countries now recognize it, up from 38 in last year's snapshot. At the other end, 99 countries explicitly prohibit it.
- The dataset includes a composite **Equality Index** (with separate legal and public-opinion components) that turns the policy landscape into a single number per country, making it easier to compare countries and track progress over time.
- History reaches back to the 1950s in many cases, so users can see the long arc of legalisation, decriminalisation, and reversals over the post-war period.

## Any important caveats or pitfalls in interpretation that users should know about this data? (optional)

- Equaldex is crowdsourced — coverage and timeliness vary by country, and contributors occasionally revise historical entries. This release retroactively reclassified US `adoption` rights from "Legal" to "Varies by region" for 2017–2025, a reminder that older years can shift between snapshots.
- Where Equaldex doesn't record the date a policy was changed, we assume the current status has held throughout — which can over-extend recently codified policies backward into earlier decades.
- We restrict the dataset to sovereign states (as defined by Butcher and Griffiths 2020), so non-sovereign territories are excluded — with one manual exception for Greenland, which the sovereignty source omits but which we keep because Equaldex publishes a Greenland-specific record.

## Anything interesting to note about this update, including what you had to do? Anything else you'd like to add? (optional)

- **New issue tracked: hate-crime protections.** Equaldex added explicit hate-crime-protection coverage in 2024–2025, and this release brings ~1,200 historical rows of it into OWID for the first time. Two new chart-ready indicators (`hate_crime_protections`, `hate_crime_protections_current`) now sit alongside the existing 14 LGBT+ issues.
- **+1 country recognizing same-sex marriage** since the last snapshot — the legal-marriage tally moves from 38 to 39 countries.
- **One more recent year of coverage:** the dataset's range extended from 1950–2025 to 1950–2026, with 22% more rows in the long-format file.
- **Equaldex renamed `French Southern Territories` → `French Southern and Antarctic Lands`** — the harmonization map was updated to match.
- **Snapshot pipeline refactor (engineering note):** the three legacy upload scripts were merged into a single self-contained `equaldex_extract.py` that hits the API, builds all three frames, and uploads them in one go. Future updates are now `etls lgbt_rights/<version>/equaldex_extract` without manual file-shuffling.

## Add 1–3 chart views we might use in the public announcement

1. **Legal status of same-sex sexual acts** — `same-sex-sexual-acts-equaldex` — flagship indicator, immediately visual on the world map, headline figure for the dataset, still highly contested in 60+ countries
2. **Marriage for same-sex partners** — `marriage-same-sex-partners-equaldex` — landmark policy that has expanded substantially in recent years; one more country has legalized it since the 2025 snapshot
3. **LGBT+ Legal Equality Index** — `lgbt-legal-equality-index` — composite index summarizing the whole dataset (legality of 15 policies, weighted), single chart that captures the broad picture

Data update post (for OWID /latest)

title: Where in the world are LGBT+ rights protected, and where are they restricted?
excerpt: Explore updated data on LGBT+ rights from Equaldex, plus new coverage of hate-crime protections.
type: announcement
authors: Pablo Arriagada
kicker: Data update

\[+body\]

How does the legal status of LGBT+ people compare across countries, and how has it changed over time?

[Equaldex](https://www.equaldex.com/) is a crowdsourced database that tracks LGBT+ rights laws in 195 countries. It covers 16 distinct legal issues — from the legality of same-sex sexual activity and marriage, to employment and housing discrimination, gender-affirming care, military service, and *hate-crime protections*, which we're now able to chart for the first time.

The picture is mixed. Same-sex sexual activity is legal in 130 countries — about two-thirds of those covered — but criminalized in 61, including seven where the death penalty is still on the books. Same-sex marriage is now recognized in 39 countries, up from 38 last year, while 99 countries explicitly prohibit it.

Keep in mind that this data is crowdsourced and updated by Equaldex contributors, so coverage and timeliness vary by country, and older entries are sometimes revised between releases.

I recently updated our charts with the latest data from Equaldex.
