HRC, nation's biggest LGBT organization, rates Omaha and Lincoln — both got flunking grades

Well, the scoring isn't a numerical pass/fail, but still...
     Progressive Oasis alerted us to the newest Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index rankings of how LGBT-friendly various cities are:
The Omaha index has some oddities, for example, the city has bonus points for supposedly having  openly LGBT city leadership elected or appointed with a +3.  Omaha’s overall score is a 59, still very low.  Omaha has no openly LGBT leadership, although one of its suburbs does.
Lincoln only scored 34. A small gripe: HRC, which apparently uses two-letter postal abbreviations to identify states in its report, is apparently unaware that Nebraska's is NE, not NB.
