We Keep LGBTQ+ Women & Girls Up-To-Date
In France, things are changing for the LGBTQ community. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the progress that has been made in France in terms of LGBTQ rights. It also discusses the steps still needed for further improvement.
Recently, LGBTQ+ people in France have seen a number of improvements in their legal rights, including the recognition and protection of same-sex couples via marriage, adoption and access to medically assisted procreation.
Despite the progress made so far, more needs to be done in order to truly ensure equality and acceptance for those who identify as LGBTQ+ in France.
This article strives to make clear that while there has been significant progress towards achieving equality for all in France since same-sex marriage was legalized a few years ago, there is still much work left to do before everyone can truly benefit from the same level of respect and protection under French law regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

France has long been a trailblazer in LGBTQ rights and equal representation of all members of their community. In 1791, it became the first country to decriminalize same-sex relations, paving the way for further progress in this area. In 2013, it was one of only 14 countries to legalize same-sex marriage and, since then, has taken further steps such as passing a law criminalizing "conversion therapy" and supporting transgender individuals in legally changing their gender without facing discrimination. Despite these advances, there is still much work to be done to ensure true equality is achieved for all LGBTQ members in France. However, these initiatives demonstrate that the country is committed to creating a safe and secure environment for those who identify as LGBTQ, giving cause for optimism and hope.
