    This document is a scorecard evaluating the city of Lawrence, Kansas on its laws, policies, and programs relating to LGBTQ non-discrimination and equality. It assigns points in various categories such as non-discrimination laws, municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement, and relationship with the LGBTQ community. Lawrence receives points for having LGBTQ protections in employment, housing and public accommodations at the city level, and for its law enforcement reporting hate crimes and having an LGBTQ liaison. However, it receives few other points because the state and county lack non-discrimination laws and the city earns no points in categories like human rights commission. The final score Lawrence receives is 69 out of a possible 100
