This is evident at major international events such as the<a href=\"https:\/\/eurosong-contest.fandom.com\/wiki\/LGBT_visibility#LGBT_participants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Eurovision Song Contest<\/a>. In 2024, queer people were even more present than the year before. The representativeness of queer people is also being discussed in sport. Most recently on the day against homophobia. Now that a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdf.de\/nachrichten\/sport\/fussball-fans-gegen-homophobie-outing-100.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">group coming-out&#8221;<\/a>of active professional men&#8217;s soccer players has not taken place, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdf.de\/nachrichten\/sport\/fussball-fans-gegen-homophobie-outing-100.html\">the fans<\/a> are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdf.de\/nachrichten\/sport\/fussball-fans-gegen-homophobie-outing-100.html\">encouraging the players to<\/a> come out. Germany is one of the few countries in Europe where the acceptance of queer people <a href=\"https:\/\/www.queer.de\/detail.php?article_id=49712\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has increased in recent years<\/a>. At least according to the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipsos.com\/en\/ipsos-pride-survey-2024-gen-zers-most-likely-identify-lgbt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pride Survey<\/a> by market research company Ipsos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately &#8211; and here we come to the bad news &#8211; same-sex sexuality is still <a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Laws_On_Us_2024.pdf\">prosecuted <\/a>in 62 states. In many countries, including in Europe, homosexual, bisexual and transgender people are still marginalized and discriminated against. Progress has been made in recent years, with three UN states (Dominica, Mauritius and Singapore) decriminalizing consensual same-sex acts. However, Uganda has introduced the death penalty for this and Iraq criminalizes homosexual acts by law. You can read more about this in the latest &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/ilga.org\/news\/laws-on-us-2024-lgbti-human-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laws on Us<\/a>&#8221; report from the ILGA organization.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-color has-text-color\" id=\"international\">Major international differences in LGBTQIA* rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This ambivalence shows that even if the topic has already made it into a broader social discourse, there is still a long way to go to achieve equality.
