[edit] Law against gays
Montenegro decriminalized homosexual sex in 1977. The age of consent legislation was equalized in 1977. Homosexuals are not banned from military service, but officers are always discharged from the army if their homosexuality is revealed. Official medical textbooks classify homosexuality as an illness under the heading "Sexual Deviations and Disorders".
[edit] Recognition of same-sex couples
There is no legal recognition of same-sex couples.
[edit] Gay life in the country
Gays and lesbians continue to face discrimination and harassment in Montenegro. The police have conducted raids and beaten gays, which have been very rare, probably none, in the last few years. The gay scene is very small. Anti-gay attitudes are deeply ingrained.
