For the first time since 2015, the city of Southaven has scored points on the Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index. The index rates municipal policies, laws and services affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Before this year, Southaven, which has been rated in the report since at least 2015, had never scored more than a zero. A zero score means that a municipality does not have any laws, policies, or services that support LGBTQ people. Southaven scored twelve points on the 2022 HRC Municipal Equality Index for reporting 2020 hate crime statistics to the FBI.
