The Best Countries To Be LGBTI In Europe

by Martin Armstrong, May 17, 2022

 

According to the latest edition of ILGA Europe's Rainbow List which ranks 49 European countries on a scale between 0 percent (gross violations of human rights and discrimination) and 100 percent (respect of human rights and full equality), Malta is the best place for LGBTI people to live and visit. WIth a score of 92 percent, it is also a long way ahead of all other European countries assessed by the source. In second place is Denmark - the highest ranked nordic country, of which all make it into the top 12.

Even in these relative havens for the gay community, there is still room for improvement though. As Rainbow Europe reports: "Malta LGBTIQ Rights Movement (MGRM) shared its concern this year that the police response to incidents of hate speech or hate crime remain flawed and insufficient. In 2020, MGRM’s online survey found that over 50 percent of LGTBQI respondents felt unsafe in Paceville, Malta’s main nightclub hub, and reported being denied entry into clubs or harassment." Overall though, Malta is making progress at the front of the pack - its score in 2020 was 89 percent.

Key Points

• ILGA Europe's Rainbow List 최신판에 따르면 49개 유럽 국가를 0%(인권 및 차별에 대한 심각한 침해)에서 100%(인권 존중 및 완전한 평등) 사이의 척도로 매긴 순위를 발표
• 유럽 중 몰타(Malta)는 92점으로 성소수자에게 가장 좋은 것으로 나타남(2020년 89점)
• 2위는 덴마크, 북유럽 국가 모두 12위권 안에 안착한 결과를 보여줌
• 몰타는 가장 좋은 곳이지만 여전히 개선의 여지가 존재하는 것으로 보임; Malta LGBTIQ Rights Movement (MGRM)는 증오 표현과 증오 범죄에 대한 경찰의 대응이 여전히 불완전하고 불충분하다는 우려를 전함
