Information on the situation for homosexuals in Gibraltar:

Legal-

Homosexual acts in private were legalized in Gibraltar in 1992, with the exception of anal intercourse (which also is illegal for heterosexuals). Male homosexual relations between members of the armed forces is still an offence. Hopefully we will see changes soon as pressure has been laid upon Great Britain to make sure its colonies follow the international treaties signed by the mother country.

Gibraltar is part of the European Union under Great Britain. Citizens of Gibraltar and other EU nationals residing there, while holding EU passports, are not allowed to vote for the EU Parliament. After decades of conflict with Spain, the border was opened in February 1985.
