[edit] Laws against homosexuals

It is unknown when homosexuality was legalized, but homosexuality is legal in Andorra according to the Penal Code of 2005.

[edit] Protection based on sexual orientation in law

Anti-discrimination laws cover sexual orientation and thus, discriminating against homosexuals is illegal. However, homosexuals can't give blood because of their sexual orientation, although it's against International Conventions.

[edit] Recognition of same sex couples

Since 2005, it has been possible for same-sex couples to register their partnership under the name "Stable Union of a Couple". Gay couples also have the right to adopt children.
