GAY RIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD: THE BT AND WORST UNTRI FOR EQUALY

Current statSce Mar 19, 2009Legal At the time, gay upl were allowed to have civil unns and th was able to apply as a uple. This year, I thought I would highlight some laws related to LGBTQ rights Denmark, given that June is also “Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr and Queer (LGBTQ) Pri Month” here the Uned Stat. The law giv homosexuals the right to the same legal am surroundg their life together as marriage provis.

2012: The Marriage Act” is amend for homosexual upl to marry Denmark on equal terms as heterosexual upl. It’s worth notg that as a largely homogenised untry wh a strong welfare system (and therefore mimal wealth equaly), the approach to the issu is often ls tersectnal than necsarily is more populo, diverse untri; somethg that is now shiftg.

Among the founrs were gay activists Eigil and Axel Axgil (then Eigil Eskildsen and Axel Lundahl-Madsen), who would later bee the first gay uple to enter to a registered partnership anywhere the world. Homosexual men, or men who have had sex wh other men (MSM), are still not able to donate blood, stemmg om fears that they are at higher risk of rryg HIV or hepatis. Ahead of Copenhagen Pri, polil party Radikale announced that will seek Parliament’s backg for a proposal to allow homosexual men to donate blood.

In 2013, for example, 80% of Canadians (pared wh jt 60% of Amerins) said that society should accept homosexualy. Canada was also listed as number three of the top 10 most gay-iendly untri worldwi a 2014 Gallup survey. Whether you're nsirg studyg anphone Montreal, pure Pacific Northwt Vanuver, or smopolan, happeng Toronto (also rated as beg one of the top gay-iendly plac the world), 's easy to feel at home as an LGBTQ person Canada.

It was the first untry to tablish a Natnal Associatn for Gays and Lbians 1948, when homosexualy was still nsired a crime many wtern untri. Adoptn rights and marriage rights have been available to gay upl Denmark over the past few years as well. Denmark's pal cy, Copenhagen, is so acceptg of LGBTQ folks that was rated number one on Lonely Pla's list of "The most gay-iendly plac on the pla.

Germany's roots as a gay-iendly statn go back as far as the late 1800s, when Karl Herich Ulrichs, known as one of the first gay activists history, gave a speech advotg for homosexual rights. Not only is a untry where prostutn and marijuana are famoly legal, but was also the first natn the world to legalize gay marriage 2001. Its pal, Amsterdam, has over 100 gay and lbian shops, bars, clubs, and hotels and is host to a huge annual Gay Pri.

In Amsterdam, you n also fd the Homomonument, a memorial for LGBTQ people throughout the world. Stunts should fely look at IGLYO, the Internatnal Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgenr, Queer and Intersex Youth & Stunt Organizatn. The large ci of Madrid and Barcelona have several "gayborhoods" and many LGBTQ-themed bars, snas, clubs, and stor.

Whether you're terted studyg ci like Stockholm or s stunt-iendly neighbor, Uppsala, you will fd that there are plentiful cultural optns for LGBTQ stunts, om gay bars, bookstor, and stunt associatns like RFSL Ungdom to the Stockholm Pri Para, which draws more than 400, 000 spectators per year. In 1934, crimalized homosexualy, and 2013, beme the send untry Lat Ameri to legalize same-sex marriage. The pal cy of Montevio is particularly LGBTQ-iendly, replete wh gay, lbian, and transgenr bars, clubs, and other tablishments.

Sce the 1960s, when homosexualy was fally crimalized, the UK has bee more and more acceptg of LGBTQ people. In 2001, same-sex upl were granted the right to adopt children, and a prev ban on gay people servg the ary was dissolved. It has never been a better time to be lbian, gay, bi, trans, or queer, and this hold even ter when you live Denmark.

1930, Denmark granted legal regnn to gay or lbian upl the form of “registered partnerships”. As a matter of fact, Danish gay men who serve the Danish Armed Forc are viewed wh great rpect and admiratn, and a number of gay men also serve as officer posns of rponsibily the army.

So you'll have a range of hotel optns to choose of the most popular plac to stay for people wh the LGBTQI+ muny are, for stance, Hotel SP34 which is a sign hotel loted the Lat Quarter (jt a stone's throw om the most of the gay bars and clubs), Manon L Su which has brought a mix of Bali and New York to Copenhagen, and Urban Hoe Copenhagen which is a hostel/hotel trendy Vterbro that ters to a variety of different price beyond CopenhagenWhile Copenhagen may have the most vibrant LGBTQI+ scene and the largt muny, our openns and welg attu go beyond the cy lims and is found throughout the untry. We're proud to say that Denmark has been one of the ontnners of gay rights durg the past 80 history of our LGBTQI+ muny plays an important part of Denmark's morn history.
