So gay-friendly is Sweden! Although this is, as usual, a very difficult question to answer. But following the LGBTQ+ rights by law and the common feedback from the local community in the Scandinavian country, Sweden can be considered to be one of the most LGBTQ+ and gay-friendly countries in the world. Already since 2009, Sweden legalized same-sex marriage countrywide making Sweden the 7th country in the world with marriage equality. Additional to that, the country has banned any kind of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression since 1987. Good to know: Same sex couples can adopt children already since 2003, and lesbian couples have had equal access to IVF and assisted insemination since 2005. Furthermore, Sweden became the first country in the world to allow transgender people to legally change their sex, provided free hormone therapy, and an equal age of consent. Transgenderism was declassified as an illness in 2017. Sweden was ranked in the annual Gay Travel Index to be the top LGBTQ+ friendly country yet again. Our experiences in Stockholm have been unexceptionally posivite: Holding hands in public, giving each other a kiss or checking in a hotel asking for a double bedwe never faced any difficultiesand were thereby able to fully enjoy our trip to the Swedish capital city.
