Information on the situation for homosexuals in Belarus:
 
Legal
 
Belarus was the first of the former Soviet republics to legalize homosexual relations in 1991. This was not well publicized, so there has been some confusion about the situation. The age of consent was also set at 16 for all sexual relations alike. 
  
If you have any further information on the current situation in Belarus, please contact me.
