2019 MAP – SEXUAL ORIENTATION LAWS IN THE WORLD (20 LANGUAGES)

In June 2020, in celebration of Global Pride, ILGA World launched 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.

The map is presented in two formats: a vectorized PDF file that can be used for printing in any size without any loss of quality and a hi-res PNG file in case you wish to use it in any digital platform
