Monaco

Monaco scores 13.70 % on the Rainbow Map, and the shape of that number is unusual. Civil society space scores 100 %, which costs a principality of two square kilometres nothing, since nobody is stopped from forming an association. Equality scores 0 %, because there is no law against discrimination in employment, housing or services at all.

Sex between people of the same sex has not been an offence since 1793, when Monaco took on the French penal code. Legal recognition for couples arrived two hundred and twenty-seven years later. The contrat de vie commune was adopted unanimously by the National Council on 4 December 2019 and came into force on 27 June 2020. Two adults sign a declaration before a notary, at least one of them Monegasque or resident. It carries property rights and mutual obligations, and for inheritance tax it treats the partners roughly as it treats siblings rather than as spouses. There is no marriage, no joint adoption, and no procedure for changing a gender marker.

What does exist is protection against violence and hate speech. A law of 2005 covers incitement to hatred on grounds of sexual orientation, and Law 1.478 of November 2019 wrote sexual orientation into the provisions on violent crime, with sentences ranging from six months to ten years depending on the offence. So the principality punishes an attack on a gay person more heavily than it once did, and still has nothing to say to a landlord or an employer.
