Poland was ranked 41nd out of 48 European countries by Rainbow Europe in their annual LGBTI rights rankings, being the lowest ranked of all European Union member states, with an overall score of 17 percent. The Polish government has come under increasing scrutiny from EU institutions and other member states in recent years for its homophobic stance, with laws prohibiting LGBTI-inclusive education in school and some Polish municipalities even going so far as to declare themselves as "LGBTQ-free zones". While being homosexual is not criminalized in Poland, same-sex couples do not have marriage or adoption rights, and as can be seen in Rainbow Europe's rankings, the country also performs especially poorly in regards to hate crime & hate speech and the bodily integrity of intersex people.
