LGBT rights in Monaco

LGBT rights in Monaco

Homosexuality is legal under the Monegasque Penal Code. Criminal penalties for homosexual acts were eliminated in 1793 due to the adoption of French laws.

As of January 2007, Monaco provides no civil unions or recognition of same-sex partners. [http://www.ilga-europe.org/europe/issues/marriage_and_partnership/same_sex_marriage_and_partnership_country_by_country#monaco See ILGA list of same-sex marriage and partnership by country]

The age of consent is set at 16 years. [Spartacus International Gay Guide, page 1217. Bruno Gmunder Verlag, 2007.] There are no official gay places in Monaco.
