The 2025 ILGA Europe Rainbow Map was launched today and I am sad to say that it makes for grim reading. Alongside far-right populist-led nation states, such as Georgia and Hungary, the United Kingdom has seen a significant drop of 6 places from 17th in 2024, to now languishing in 22nd place. This drop, and a lack of gains made across Europe, should sound as a warning klaxon for us all.
