Gay rights in Greece
The attitude and the public opinion in Greece on homosexuals evolved significantly during the last decades. Now, the country is one of the most liberal and gay-friendly locations for gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals. However, same-sex couples still cannot marry, but civil unions are legally recognised since 2015. Male and female homosexual activity is legal since 1951, the anti-discrimination laws in employment were enacted in 2005.
Gender identity became protected under the law. Meanwhile, legislation on hate crime and hate speech against gays are among the most severe ones in Europe. Still, adoption is not a clear issue for same-sex couples.
