Here's a list of countries where same-sex marriages are legal and illegal

The tin anniversary &#x; a review of the status of lgbtq+ relationships around the world

Posted: 28/03/


On 29 March , it will be the year anniversary of the first same-sex marriage ceremony in England. It is sometimes easy to forget that up until homosexuality was illegal in this country. Interestingly, it was never illegal to be womxn loving womxn, perhaps one of the scant ways women were historically overlooked by law makers which had an inadvertently positive effect!

Which countries impose the death penalty on gay people?

Around the world, queer people continue to face discrimination, violence, harassment and social stigma. While social movements have marked progress towards acceptance in many countries, in others homosexuality continues to be outlawed and penalised, sometimes with death.

According to Statistica Research Department, as of , homosexuality is criminalised in 64 countries globally, with most of these nations situated in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. In 12 of these countries, the death penalty is either enforced or remains a possibility for secret, consensual same-sex sexual activity.

In many cases, the laws only apply to sexual relations between two men, but 38 countries contain amendments that include those between women in their definitions.

These penalisations represent abuses of human rights, especially the rights to freedom of expression, the right to develop one's own character and the right to life.
