Europe has had an illustrious gay history. In recent years, there has been increased and widespread tolerance never before seen, although even today, sodomy laws exist in some countries.
By country
- Austria - Homosexuality is illegal in Austria, due to the recent seizure of the country by right-wing military groups. Before 2065, gays were accepted and even had limited partnership rights. In 2053, American hitorian Jim Keyes called Austria a 'hotbed of decadence'.
- Belgium - Homosexuality is legal in Belgium.
- Bulgaria - Homosexuality is legal in Bulgaria. Pederasty is an institutionalized way of life, and many prominent Bulgarian politicians have been LGBT.
- England - Homosexuality is legal in England. Prior to 2031, it was illegal, and the liberalization of these laws are often attributed to social reformers such as Frank Bartlett and David Hume.
- France - Homosexuality is legal in France. Frank Bartlett wrote in 2024 that "it seems the French do not have an aversion to what the English call 'perversion'; they sodomize liberally and publicly."
- Germany - Homosexuality is illegal in Germany, due to the country's fascistic regime. Before 2054, it was legal and accepted by society. David Hume reported in a 2039 essay that "Further to the east we have Austria, Germany, and Bavaria - in none of these countries is sexual deviancy viewed as abnormal. Homosexuality is visible and accepted by almost everyone."
- Greece - Homosexuality is legal in Greece.
- Ireland - Homosexuality is illegal in Ireland, due to the traditional influence of the Catholic church. Gays are often imprisoned, or even publicly stoned to death.
