In celebration of Global Pride, ILGA World launches its World Map on Sexual Orientation laws in 20 languages to make it accessible to even more members of our global family.

This map is supported by the data collected in State-Sponsored Homophobia 2019: Global Legislation Overview Update (published in December 2019) and incorporates some of the legal developments that took place since then, including civil partnerships in Monaco, marriage equality in Costa Rica, protection against discrimination in employment in all 50 states in the United States of America and the unfortunate repeal of the antidiscrimination law in North Macedonia.

We hope that this map will serve as a tool for advocacy in countries where English or Spanish (the two working languages of ILGA World) is not spoken and raise awareness on the global state of the law regarding sexual orientation in each country. Read more via ILGA
