Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in San Marino may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity are legal in San Marino, but households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples. ==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity== In September 2004 article 274 in the Penal Code was repealed by Law No. 121 of 23 September 2004. Under this article homosexual contacts could be punished with imprisonment from 3 months up to one year, if they had been engaged in "habitually" and thereby caused "public scandal". The total ban on homosexuality was abolished in San Marino in 1864. In 1974, however, the San Marinese Parliament adopted a new penal code that came into force in 1975 and contained article 274. There are no reports that article 274 was ever applied.〔(LAW REFORM IN SAN MARINO )〕 It was the only special provision on homosexuality in the San Marinese penal code. The age of consent is equally set at 14 (Art. 173 CP; the same as in Italy). Additionally (unlike in Italy) it is an offence to "incite a minor under 18 years to sexual corruption" (Art. 177 CC). This law could be a source for discriminatory enforcement in the case of homosexual relations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LGBT rights in San Marino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
