Turkey was ranked second last out of 49 European countries in Rainbow Europe's annual rating of LGBTI rights in 2023, with an overall score of only four percent. The country performed poorly across every indicator included in the rankings, but did manage to achieve a positive score for civil society space and legal gender recognition. While Turkey has been heading in a less LGBTI-friendly direction for many years, with law-makers aligning with more traditionalist Islamic values, there have been some positive signs recently, such as the Supreme Court's judgement that banning gay pride events is unconstitutional.
