Iran LGBTQ News on JRL CHARTS provides ongoing updates and authoritative reporting on the status of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals in Iran, where same-sex relations are criminalized and punishable by law under strict interpretations of Islamic legal codes. Homosexual acts carry severe penalties, including imprisonment or death, while transgender people face narrow legal recognition only after extensive medical procedures and societal discrimination.

Despite oppressive laws and pervasive human rights abuses, LGBTQ individuals in Iran have participated in protests and social movements, often risking arrest, harassment, or worse.
