“Love is love.” Probably Ottoman Sultan/Caliph or a Pasha(who brought French Civil Code to Ottomans in 1858) said.
What is this based on? Homosexuality may have been informally tolerated in some places, but I’m pretty sure it was still illegal in all these places in 1860.
What’s the Source of this information?
Russia was intolerant then and intolerant now it seems.
The poor sod that had to dig through the 19th century legal codes of the dozens of German states and statelets …

How could it be legal in Poland, when it was part of the Russian Empire where it was illegal?
Also it became legal in Spain in 1979 and in Portugal in 1982,
So…the source is a YT video which doesn’t name sources? Yup, ‘s legit.
There seems to be a Catholic/Protestant separation in Central Europe, right?
Bavaria: I’m gay
Prussia: You’re WHAT
The good old days
Im pretty sure ist legal in whole Germany
It being legal on paper doesn’t mean that it wasn’t persecuted. At some places and times, they used other laws like civil decency to target homosexual people disproportionately.
Funny that it was illegal in Greece…
At least Poland is marked incorrectly: in 1847, the Russian penal code was adopted, and the article 723 bans all male homosexual acts:
Polish text:
>723. Mężczyzna, któryby przeciwnego naturze przestępstwa lubieżności z osobą płci męzkiéj dopuścił się, skazanym zostanie:
na pozbawienie wszelkich praw i zesłanie do Syberyi na osiedlenie.
Oprócz tego zaś, jeżeli jest Chrześcianienm, ulegnie:
pokucie kościelnéj podług zarządzenia swéj duchownéj zwierzchności.
>723. A man who commits an unnatural crime of lasciviousness with a person of the male sex shall be sentenced:
to deprivation of all rights and exile to Siberia for settlement.
In addition, if he is a Christian, he will undergo:
ecclesiastical penance according to the decision of his spiritual authority.
Russian text:
>723. Изобличенный въ противоествесвенномъ порокѣ мужеложства подвергается на сіе:
лишенію всѣхъ правъ и ссылкѣ въ Сибиръ на поселеніе.
Сверхъ того, если онъ Христіанинъ, то предается:
церковному покаянію по распоряженію своего духовнаго начальства.
>723. Anyone guilty of the unnatural vice of sodomy is subject to this:
deprivation of all rights and exile to Siberia for settlement.
Moreover, if he is a Christian, then he surrenders:
to ecclesiastical repentance by order of his spiritual authority.

Yeah you see that right, Bavaria had homosexuality legalized before Prussia. Eat that, Prussia
Wow these colors sure are something
It was probably legal in France but afaik it was not well seen to be homosexual and you were persecuted for being homosexual.
I call this map half bullshit honestly.
Wait, i thought Denmark was the capital of homosexuality? All my memes are ruined!!!
Legal in France yes but was considered as a menthal disease until 1981
Weird to think it was made illegal in some parts of the continent later
Chad Hanover, Bavaria, Württemberg and Baden vs cringe Prussia and Austria.
The Ottomans? Really?
widać zabory
If you really wanna get technical,this is not criminalization of homosexuality(a state of being) but rather of sodomy(an act) which also applied to heterosexual couples,although admitidly the men caught in such an act would be seen as effeminate and lecherious.

That’s hard to believe.
