in Europe (dark grey)  –  [Legend]The rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Liechtenstein have developed significantly over time.

On 8 March 2024, the Liechtenstein government passed a bill by a vote of 24-1 regarding same-sex marriage rights on its first reading; the legislation went into effect on 1 January 2025.

In 2018, a gay couple filed suit in court, arguing that the same-sex marriage ban is in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Constitution of Liechtenstein.

[16] On 21 September 2022, a motion calling on the government to introduce a bill legalizing same-sex marriage[17] was submitted to the Landtag by 15 out of the 25 sitting members.

Under the proposal, no new registered partnerships would be established in Liechtenstein, although existing ones would continue to be recognised and could be converted into marriage via a simple procedure.

[45][46] On 1 January 2016, during his annual New Year's Day interview, Prince Hans-Adam II announced his opposition to allowing same-sex couples to adopt children.

[47] In September 2019, the State Court ordered the Liechtenstein Government to look into the legalisation of stepchild adoption for civil partners.

On that same day, Parliament narrowly rejected an amendment that would have excluded same-sex couples from joint adoption and procedures for reproductive medicine for those in registered partnerships.

[49][50] After a consultation period lasting from 6 July to 30 September 2022, the government passed a motion on full adoption equality for same-sex couples on 31 October 2022.

[63][64] Since 1 April 2016, harassment and incitement to hatred on the basis of sexual orientation has been banned in Liechtenstein, punishable by up to two years' imprisonment.

Despite Liechtenstein's reputation as a conservative Catholic nation, same-sex couples and LGBT people more generally face little social differences compared to heterosexuals and are accepted and tolerated.
