Information on the situation for homosexuals
in the Faroe Islands:
Legal
I have not found much information
about the situation for homosexuals on the Faroe Islands. Being part of
the Danish realm, the basic human rights are the same as in the mother
country. The Faroe Islands is, however, a self-governing territory, and
I haven't found much specific information regarding the situation for homosexuals.
Same-sex marriages were allowed in Denmark in 1989, and Greenland, a territory
in the Danish realm that enjoys similar self-governing rights as these
islands, followed suit in 1994. The Faroe Islands, however, has not (yet)
adopted the Partnership Law.
If you have any further
information on the current situation in the Faroe Islands, please contact
me.
