LGBT rights in Kazakhstan

LGBT rights in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan has no sodomy laws, the age of sexual consent is 18 for all. However it was only in 1991 that the first gay group in Kazakhstan was founded. Male homosexuality was then illegal, and the group was subject to violence and threats at the hands of the Ministry of the Interior. The group however successfully campaigned for the repeal of the law prohibiting male homosexuality.

Recognition of same sex couples

No recognition with respect to gay marriage or civil unions is currently legal.
