a Non-Profit Foundation), serves to support LGBTQI organizations through information. The census was founded by Terrance Luckett in January 2012 as a research project born out of curiosity. While conducting research on a possible move from Atlanta to Seattle, he quickly discovered the kind of “gay quality of life“ information he was searching for was virtually non-existent. There was plenty of inf

ormation about where to live, where to go out at night and where to hang out, but no information about what it’s actually like living in Seattle. What are the attitudes, perceptions, dating life and ease of making quality friendships? Those and other questions lead to the creation of an online survey of U.S. cities with the purpose of learning what different cities must be like. Almost within days of launching, feedback from the UK and Australia was received asking if something similar could be done for those countries as well. Not only was the UK and Australia added, an additional step was taken by including all English-speaking countries. It wasn’t long after launching the expanded project, more feedback began arriving. This time from English speakers who lived in various non English-speaking countries. LGBT people from around the world want to be heard and take part. Thus, the International LGBT Census was born. What started as a small research project in Atlanta, Georgia, blossomed into the first worldwide LGBT survey for gathering the opinions, view points, and living conditions of people. The tremendous amount of information that is collected through the census is extremely valuable and powerful. Turning this information into something useful has become the highest priority. In late February, the decision was made to provide the collected data and reports to non-profit LGBT organizations around the world. Additionally, the census will provide reports for LGBT media and LGBT researchers in universities and colleges. Due to the great success and flood of responders (more than 10,000 in the first 30 days), the initial steps have been taken to put formal structure around the census. In March, 2012, the census began filing documents with the state of Georgia to incorporate a 501(c)3 non-profit organization under the name World Voices for Equality (WVFE). The founding directors include Terrance Luckett (Founder), Barry Black (Operations) and Shannon Jenkins (Communications Support). Completion of legal requirements are expected by the end of March 2012. Official announcement will be made once the state and federal requirements have been completed. By creating a non-profit we will be able to provide:
- Greater transparency and credibility to the census.
- A means of generating capital and apply for grants to support the growth of WVFE
- Give the newly formed organization capabilities to support other LGBT non-profit organizations - a vehicle for acquiring important data without cost
- Additional legal protections
