Russia

Overview

Homosexuality is legal in Russia听since 1993, however societal anti-homosexual sentiments are high听with over 70% of the population holding hostile views towards homosexual people. Currently there are no laws in place protecting LGBT people in Russia from discrimination in areas of employment, housing or military service. However, legally homosexual people are allowed to serve in the military openly.听In fact, a law that banned 'propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations' practically legitimises discrimination against LGBT people.听Same-sex partnerships听is not recognised听by law.听 It is legal to change one's legal gender,听but sex reassignment surgery is required. There are numerous organisations听advocating for LGBT and gender rights in Russia, the list of the main ones can be found below.
