San Marino Bans Discrimination on Grounds of Sexual Orientation

Stefania Sarrubba June 9, 2019

The enclave state of San Marino has banned discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The citizens of the small state in the Italian peninsula has voted in a referendum. The motion passed with 71.46% of votes on Sunday 2 June.

This is another major victory for the local LGBTI community. Until 2004, homosexuality in the country was punishable by three to 12 months of jail time.

The attitude towards the community has changed over the last few years.

In November 2018, San Marino also passed civil union laws for same-sex couples.
