Gay Rights Across The Globe

A small number of countries have made it easier for transgender people to change their legal gender, while other nations have restricted such changes, notably Russia and Pakistan

Countries across the globe which paved the way for equality and justice for the LGBTQ community were cited by the Supreme Court while striking down part of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code this week, and quoted liberally from the judgements delivered by their courts on the issue.

Homosexuality is still subject to the death penalty in many countries, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, while others allow gay marriage and adoption.
