PinkUk's August's Newsletter ILGA-Europe’s annual rankings
Issue No. 64 – August 2025
Malta Pride 2025, Valletta, Malta, 5 - 14 September 2025
UK falls six places to 22nd out of 49 in the ILGA-Europe’s annual rankings of nations that measures LGBTQ+ rights in Europe. While Malta comes 1st. See the full rainbow map for details. In 2015 the UK was ranked best place in Europe. The main reason why the UK has dropped seven places year was mainly because of the Supreme Court ruling which deemed that the protected characteristic of a person’s ‘sex’ in the 2010 Equality Act was based on ‘biology’ and excluded trans people. So don’t take our rights for granted.
PinkUk have yet again broken our record on the number of prides we have listed. For 2025 it is currently 1,303, which breaks our 2024 record of 1,222.
