Same-Sex Marriage: Global Comparisons

In connection with the latest events in the world, it can be noted that almost every country supports tolerance on all points. Rainbow flags, balloons, confetti - in New York. Thousands of people going to the streets to celebrate the anniversary of the so-called Stonewall protests. It was these performances in the summer of 1969 that marked the beginning of the movement for the rights of sexual minorities in America, and subsequently throughout the world.

Gay parades are held in more than 50 countries on all continents, including such traditionally religious and conservative countries as Turkey, Lebanon, China, India, Venezuela, Colombia and others. What exactly helped the world understand that “Love is equival”? Either these are annual peaceful protest festivals, or other reasons, but the fact that in many countries adopt laws on the legalization of same-sex marriage remains a fact. A growing number of countries are legalizing same-sex marriage amid a steady advance in rights for LGBTQ+ people, but opposition remains strong in many countries. As of August 2019, from all countries in the world, 129 of them were legal and 67 were illegal.
