Yes — same-sex marriage is legal in מרטיניק. See the Legal Status panel on this page for the specifics. Martinique is an overseas department of France and French law applies in full: same-sex relations legal since 1791, PACS civil partnerships since 1999, marriage and joint adoption since 2013, IVF for lesbian couples since 2021, discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation banned since 1985 and gender identity since 2016, conversion therapy banned in 2022, and legal gender change without surgery since 2017. The social picture is different from the legal one. Acceptance of homosexuality in the French Antilles runs far below mainland France in surveys, church and family pressure is strong, and local LGBTQ groups report verbal harassment and family rejection as routine. Fort-de-France has a small, discreet community, a couple of mixed bars and occasional Pride events; the resort areas around Les Trois-Îlets and Sainte-Anne are used to same-sex couples from metropolitan France and treat them as any other guests. Visitors are fully protected and seldom bothered, but public affection draws looks outside the tourist zones.
