The 1991 Penal Code in Sudan criminalises materials and expositions “contrary to public morals” which is heavily implied to refer to LGBTIQ+ topics. LGBTIQ+ organisations have often been threatened to cease their activities by authorities. The 2020 amendments did not remove this provision. Additionally, the 1899 Sudanese Penal Code criminalised “any male person who dresses or is attired in the fashion of a woman in a public place”, effectively criminalising the gender expression of cross dressing men and transgender women.

Influenced by the Napoleonic penal code at the beginning of the century, Honduras legalised same-sex sexual activity in 1899.

At least 6 months imprisonment

The 1893 Summary Jurisdiction Act criminalised “people appear[ing] in a public place while dressed in clothing of a different gender for an improper purpose” with a fine. This was continuously used to persecute trans people for their gender expression until it was struck down in 2018.

Section 354 of the Guyana Criminal Law (Offences) Act of 1893 states “Everyone who commits buggery, either with a human being or with any other living creature, shall be guilty of felony and liable to imprisonment for life.” Buggery is also known as anal sexual intercourse. This law generally goes unenforced, however LGBT people still regularly face discrimination and violence.

For men, the age of consent for homosexuality is N/A because it is illegal. For women, it is equal compared to heterosexual sex.

In 1890, the House of Commons introduced a new offence called “gross indecency." The new offence made it easier to charge suspected sodomites. In 1893, the gross indecency law became part of the country’s first Criminal Code. The original language of the law referred only to homosexual acts between men, as sex between women was typically ignored at the time.

Responding to STATE v. PLACE, the Washington State Legislature adopted the common law definition of "crimes against nature" and established a penalty of "imprisonment at hard labor in the state penitentiary for not less than ten nor more than fourteen years" upon conviction of sodomy.

Under the Criminal Law Code at the time, age of consent to vaginal sex was raised from 12 to 14. Anal sex was not mentioned.

Sexual activity between two males is illegal in Kiribati, with up to 14 years in prison as punishment. Sexual activity between two females is legal.

In 1891, the British colonial administration ruled that a law criminalising homosexuality in the Cape of Good Hope applied in Rhodesia (modern-day Zimbabwe). This law only applies to men who face a fine and up to ten years in prison.

The new code, commonly known as the "Zanardelli Code" after the then Minister of Justice, contained no mention of "acts against nature" and consequently decriminalized same-sex relations throughout the country. The situation was not even changed 40 years later by fascism with the promulgation of the Rocco Code, which remains the code in force, on October 19, 1930.

legal since 1890

The laws are based on the Zardanelli penal code from 1890 (which was in force at the time of the founding of Vatican City). There are no criminal laws against non-commercial, private, adult and consensual same-sex sexual activity. On October 13, 2014, the Vatican released a report summarising ongoing discussions about family issues among the top Catholic clergy. Totally unexpectedly, the clergy showed a more positive attitude toward LGB people. Although no formal decisions were announced, it signalled a shift in the Vatican's position.

There are no laws against same sex relationships in Italy's Penal Code.
