This video highlights Spain's top ranking on ILGA-Europe's annual Rainbow Map and examines the diverging paths of LGBTQ+ legal protections across the region.

DW News presents an analysis of the latest ILGA-Europe Rainbow Map, which ranks 49 countries based on their laws and policies concerning queer individuals.
