Gay rights are by far more widely accepted in Europe than in any other continent and in many respects Europe is arguably the most gay-friendly continent on the planet. As of today, four out of the six countries that have legalised same-sex marriage are in Europe. Also, 20 European countries have so far legalised civil unions or registered partnerships. Despite widespread persecution of lesbians and gay men stretching from the late Roman Empire until the late 20th century, including the Holocaust, lesbian and gay people enjoy much more greater acceptance in most European countries today, epecially Westen Europe. Although homosexuality has been decriminalised across Europe, issues facing same-sex couples today are discrimination in taxation, adoption and marriage.
