Seguridad LGBTQ+ — Finland

En Finlandia ser LGBTQ+ es totalmente legal y la ley te respalda de forma activa. Las parejas del mismo sexo pueden casarse y la Ley de No Discriminación prohíbe discriminar por orientación sexual tanto en el ámbito público como en el privado: comercios, hoteles, restaurantes, servicios y trabajo. Negarte la atención por ese motivo es delito, no solo una falta civil. Puedes presentar una queja ante la Defensoría para la No Discriminación.

Original (EN): Being LGBTQ+ is fully legal in Finland and the law actively backs you up. Same-sex couples can marry, and the Non-Discrimination Act bans discrimination based on sexual orientation in both public and private settings - shops, hotels, restaurants, services and work. Refusing to serve you on that basis is a criminal offence, not just a civil wrong. You can take a complaint to the Non-Discrimination Ombudsman.

Penalties here fall on people who discriminate against you, not on you. Criminal Code 39/1889 ch.11 s.11: anyone who, in business, professional practice, service to the public, official duty, or when organising a public event, without acceptable grounds refuses to serve someone on generally applied terms, refuses them entry or removes them, or places them in a manifestly unequal position on grounds including sexual orientation, is punished by a fine or imprisonment up to 6 months. Ch.11 s.10 (public incitement against a group, sexual orientation included): fine or up to 2 years. Ch.47 s.3 (employment discrimination): fine or up to 6 months.
