Information on the situation for homosexuals in Estonia:
 
Legal
 
Surprisingly little information on the situation for homosexuals in Estonia was found on the Internet, almost none in English. However, homosexuality is legal and several groups and organizations exist. Tallinn got its first gay club, "Night Man", in the spring of '98. 

Most Estonian sites that I found were pornographic. And perhaps that's a little bit symbolic. Estonia and the two other Baltic republics of Latvia and Lithuania have become a popular tourist destination for Finns, Scandinavians, and other Westerners looking for cheap sex. Unfortunately even those who are looking for boys and girls a little too young have made this their favourite destination. This is changing, though, as the situation in Eastern Europe stabilizes and better communications are set up with e.g. the Swedish and Finnish police.
