Moldova has legalized homosexual sex. The Parliament of the Republic of Moldova has given information that the ban on homosexual sex in Article 106 of the Penal Code was abolished on 15 June 1995 by the parliament.
Prior to the repeal, an old Soviet law had applied, under which anal intercourse between men was illegal. There was no reference in this old law to homosexual acts between women.
The age of consent in Moldova is the same regardless of whether the sex act is between persons of opposite sexes or of the same sex.
