“Spain’s number one ranking is a strong example of what becomes possible when a government makes a deliberate choice to advance equality rather than retreat from it,” says our Deputy Director, @khugendubel.bsky.social at the #IDAHOTForum in Copenhagen.
Across Europe, politicians, corporations & anti-rights groups are using costly lawsuits to silence those who dare to challenge them. The EU has a law to stop these abuses, but member states are dragging their heels. Sign the petition calling on governments to implement now: https://bit.ly/4uUvERd
Every #IDAHOBIT, ILGA-Europe publishes the #RainbowMap ranking 49 European countries on LGBTI rights. Built with 250+ experts, it powers advocacy, policy work, and legal action. Use the Rainbow Map to power real change! https://rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org/support/
We welcome the European Commission’s commitment to a Recommendation on ending conversion practices, a decisive step forward. But urgency remains: only 8 EU countries ban them, leaving millions exposed to harm disguised as “help”. Europe must act together to end this violence. #EndConversionPractices
"This year’s Map shows a genuine courage in courtrooms and in leaders who are choosing to stand with their communities. And it also tells real and growing danger that cannot be underestimated. Every government in Europe must now answer which story they want to be part of" @khugendubel.bsky.social
#RainbowMap 2026 is live! Spain breaks Malta's decade-long hold on top spot. As the rules-based international order fractures and democracy is under pressure, Spain's No’1 ranking stands as proof that political courage remains the most powerful answer. Find out more at rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org!

Europe’s highest court has ruled Hungary’s anti LGBTI law violates EU law and values. Péter Magyar’s pro EU stance now faces a clear test: commit to withdrawing the law and reversing the Pride ban. No action means no credibility.
