Que engraçado. Vai-se a ver e se calhar não é preciso porque já está praticamente tudo feito. Há muito.
Same-sex sexual activity was legalized in 1933, and since 1977, the
age of consent has been 15, regardless of
sexual orientation or
gender.
[1] Denmark was the first country in the world to grant legal recognition to same-sex unions, in the form of
registered partnerships, in 1989. On 7 June 2012, the law was replaced by a new
same-sex marriage law, which came into effect on 15 June 2012,
[2] and Denmark recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation was entirely prohibited in 1996. Denmark has allowed same-sex couples to jointly adopt since 2010, while previously allowing stepchild adoptions and limited co-guardianship rights for non-biological parents. Gays, lesbians and bisexuals are also allowed to serve
openly in the military.
Like its
Scandinavian neighbours, Denmark has become one of the most
socially liberal countries in the world, with recent polls indicating that a large majority of Danes support same-sex marriage and
LGBT adoption.
[3] Copenhagen, the capital, has frequently been referred to by publishers as one of the most gay friendly cities in the world,
[4] famous for its annual
Pride parade.
LGBT Danmark was founded in 1948, under the name
Kredsen af 1948 (Circle of 1948).
On 2 June 2006, the
Danish Parliament voted to repeal a law that since 1997 had banned lesbians from
artificial insemination, giving lesbians more parental rights to genetically have children. Also, the other partner who is not the biological parent of the child has been written onto the birth certificate as the other natural parent since 2013.
[14]
Since 1 July 2010, same-sex couples may apply jointly for adoption.
Openly gay, lesbian and bisexual soldiers serve without hindrance in all branches of the
Danish Defence. Discrimination against gay, lesbian, and bisexual soldiers in recruitment, placement and promotion is prohibited in Denmark.
[19] There are prominent openly gay military leaders in the Defence and there are no reported cases of threats to gays, morale, or national security.
[20] A study of the conditions for gay men indicates that gay men in the Danish Defence show strength and are respected.
[21]
Denmark has one of the most comprehensive sex education lessons in the world, which includes information on safe sex, prevention against sexually transmitted infections, abortion, contraception, puberty, sexual relationships, family life, gender and sexuality, and diversity. Sex education lessons are mandatory in all primary and secondary public schools, and also deal with other health issues, including drug use and alcohol.
[37]
In 1981,
Gå-Ud-Gruppen (The Outreach Group) set up supplementary sex education lessons giving information about homosexuality to senior classes in state schools.
[38]
In 2008, the Danish Family Planning Association introduced a new online nationwide campaign for sex education. By 2009, 88,300 pupils were participating.
[39]
A December 2006
European Union member poll by Angus Reid Global Monitor showed Danish support for same-sex marriage at 69%.
[46], in third place behind the
Netherlands (82%) and
Sweden (71%).
In a 2013
YouGov poll of 1,005 Danes, 59% thought that same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt children, while 79% accepted that same-sex couples be allowed to marry.
[3]
A 2015
Eurobarometer found that 87% of Danes thought that same-sex marriage should be allowed throughout Europe. Additionally, in that same poll, 90% thought that lesbian, gay and bisexual people should have the same rights as heterosexuals, and 88% agreed that "there is nothing wrong" about a sexual relationship between two people of the same sex.
[47]
Abortion laws were liberalized in 1973, allowing the procedure to be done on-demand during the first 12 weeks, and in specific circumstances at later stages of the pregnancy.
[20]
Denmark's
HIV/AIDS rate is 0.2% of adults (aged 15–49) – estimates of 2009.
[21]
The
total fertility rate (TFR) in Denmark is 1.73 children born/woman (2014 estimates), which, although below the
replacement rate, is one of the highest in Europe.
[22]
Denmark provides for
sex education in schools.
[23] The
age of consent in Denmark is 15.
Denmark has a reputation of being "open" with regards to
sexuality, perhaps due to historical factors, such as being the first country to abolish censorship and legalize pornography in 1967.
