Maps | sexual orientation laws

Every year, along with the State-Sponsored Homophobia report, ILGA publishes also maps of sexual orientation laws in the world. Starting from 2016, a single overview map has evolved into a unique set of maps to separately chart where criminalisation, protection and recognition laws are enacted.
A useful tool for LGB human rights defenders, these images expose the arbitrariness of persecutory laws, and starkly indicate the absence of positive law in most parts of the world.
In this section:
  • Maps
  • Charts
  • DatasetEDIT – Countries with marriage equality stand at 22, and not at 23 as stated in the maps. During our research phase, we wrongly considered Slovenia as a country with marriage equality, while only civil partnerships apply at the moment. We are amending our report and maps to reflect this shortly.
