Map of Same-Sex Couples’ Rights
Today we posted a new map to show the rights for same-sex couples across the US:
Louise Ma’s design really jumps out, and I like the way it works interactively.
We wrestled with this a lot — and were inspired by the great gay rights data visualization by Feilding Cage and the Guardian crew.
In the end, though, we decided to tell a smaller story, focusing on laws affecting same-sex couples. We tinkered with several cartograms and data charts, opting in the end for the US map.
Does it work for you? Let us know by tweeting at us @datanews.
