Is Malta a Gay Friendly Country?

The Group | 0 min read |

Malta’s Common Attitude towards the Gay Community and the Top Gay Friendly Hotels Across the Island.

Along the years, Malta has increased its awareness of gay rights, making it more and more a gay friendly country.

Malta Has Come Far As A Gay Friendly Country

Awareness has increased ever since the 2014 law that enabled same-sex civil unions as legal in Malta. While a 2006 poll about same-sex marriage resulted in 18% of the population who were in favour, the same poll in 2016 resulted in 65% positive results.

Furthermore, Malta has introduced a liberal new gender recognition law, equal marriage and banned gay ‘conversion’ therapy. In 2018, the island placed first in the International Lesbian-Gay Association’s Rainbow Europe’s league for LGBT rights. Malta was granted 91% of total LGBT rights.

Malta is known to be a very hospitable country and, even though, the majority of the country is religious, studies are showing that the population is becoming more tolerant and is embracing revolution and change.
