The latest ILGA-Europe Rainbow Map and Index reveals the UK has dropped to 22nd place in LGBTQ+ rights rankings from its former top position a decade ago. With an overall score of 46%, it now ranks second-worst in Western Europe, primarily due to a Supreme Court ruling interpreting 'sex' in the 2010 Equality Act as biological, which excluded trans identities. While Scotland made strides with new legislation, it hasn't significantly improved the UK's overall standing. Meanwhile, Malta leads the rankings at 89% for LGBTQ+ rights.
