Under the Equality Framework Directive 2000/78/EC of the European Union employment discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation is outlawed.

Same as in England.

The age of consent is 16 (or 18 for those in a position of authority) for all couples.

Equalised age of consent to 16

The Sexual Offences Act was successfully challenged in the European Court of Human Rights in the case of ADT v. UK in 2000. The court determined the provisions making sexual acts between more than two men illegal would be in violation of privacy laws, and therefore, those portions of the Act became unenforceable. Essentially, this was the last barrier to legalizing same-sex activity within the UK.

In 2000 a new criminal code was introduced, repealing article 121 against homosexuality.

Outlawed by the Marriage Amendment Act 2000.

It has been legal since 1988 but the current criminal code was enacted in 2000.

The marriage law explicitly prohibits marriage between same-sex couples

Any person or couple may adopt a child regardless of orientation pursuant Connecticut Public Act Number 00-228.

Law Number 3406

According to article 140 and 141 of the Georgian Penal Code, the age of consent for both homosexual and heterosexual sex is 16.

Defence as part of United Kingdom

The British military actively recruits gay men and lesbians, all three services have deployed recruiting teams to gay pride events, and punishes any instance of intolerance or bullying. The Royal Navy advertises for recruits in gay magazines and has allowed gay sailors to hold civil partnership ceremonies on board ships and, since 2006, to march in full naval uniform at a gay pride marches. British Army and Royal Air Force personnel could march but had to wear civilian clothes until 2008, now all military personnel are permitted to attend Gay Pride marches in uniform.

United Kingdom responsible for defence.

Serving openly in the military is legal as of the 2000's.

The Ministry of Defence were forced to change their stance on when the European Court of Human Rights ruled in September 1999 that the then current ban on gays in the military was unlawful.
