Turkey was ranked between the last out of 48 European countries in Rainbow Europe's annual rating of LGBTI rights in 2025, with an overall score of only **** percent. The country performed poorly across every indicator included in the rankings, but did manage to achieve a positive score for civil society space and legal gender recognition. While Turkey has been heading in a less LGBTI-friendly direction for many years, with law-makers aligning with more traditionalist Islamic values, there have been some positive signs recently, such as the Supreme Court's judgement that banning gay pride events is unconstitutional.
