“In the European Rainbow Map ranking, Monaco is 43<\/em>rd<\/sup>\u00a0out of the 49 countries that are assessed in terms of rights granted to the LGBTQIA+ community,”\u00a0<\/em>noted Annette Anderson by way of an introduction, encouraging the invaluable supporters get involved to change the situation in the Principality.<\/p>\n\n

“We love this country and we hope that things will change,”\u00a0<\/em>says Herv\u00e9 Aeschbach optimistically. The former director of Fight Aids Monaco drew attention to\u00a0“the non-recognition of homosexual marriages contracted abroad,”<\/em> a failing that “deprives many couples of fundamental social benefits: family allowances, inheritance rights and adoption possibilities.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n
