Luxembourg

Luxembourg has made significant progress in legal reforms for LGBTIQ equality. Same-sex couples can marry and adopt. Transgender people can change their legal gender markers on the basis of self-determination, although nonbinary gender markers are not available. Discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is banned, but the law does not cover gender expression or sex characteristics. No legal or policy measures have been adopted to eradicate conversion practices and non-consensual medical interventions on intersex children.

A substantial majority of people in Luxembourg believe that LGBTIQ people should enjoy equal rights. In one survey, 75 percent of LGBTIQ respondents from Luxembourg agreed that their national government effectively fights prejudice against LGBTIQ people, which is significantly higher than the European Union average of 33 percent. Several politicians and government officials, including a prime minister, have been openly LGBTIQ. 

Family rejection and housing insecurity remain concerns for some LGBTIQ people. In July 2024, a petition demanding the removal of LGBTIQ topics from schools surpassed the signature threshold needed to initiate a parliamentary debate. However, a month later, a counter-petition in favor of LGBTIQ-inclusive curricula also reached the same requirement.
