Gay Liechtenstein

Yes — same-sex marriage is legal in Liechtenstein. See the Legal Status panel on this page for the specifics. Liechtenstein decriminalised same-sex relations in 1989, introduced registered partnerships in 2011 after 69 percent approved them in a referendum, and opened marriage to same-sex couples on 1 January 2025 after the Landtag voted 24 to 1 in May 2024; existing partnerships can be converted and no new ones are created. Step-child adoption came in 2022 and full joint adoption in June 2023, both forced by State Court rulings. Incitement to hatred on grounds of sexual orientation has been a crime since 2016 and discrimination in public services and goods is prohibited, but there is no employment anti-discrimination law and gender identity is not named anywhere; legal gender change is not possible. Gay and bisexual men have donated blood on equal terms since 2022. Open discrimination is described as extremely rare and a 2017 poll found 69 percent support for same-sex marriage. With 40,000 people the principality has no gay bar; the association Flay, founded in 1998, runs social events across the Rhine valley and residents use the scenes in Zurich and Feldkirch. Visitors meet a quiet, entirely unbothered country.
