Homosexuality is legal in Bermuda, but the country has long held a reputation for being anti-gay, and discrimination on the grounds of sexuality and gender identity is also legal.

Prior to 1994, gay male sexual conduct were punishable by up to ten years imprisonment. Following the passing of the Stubbs Bill in that year, gay male sexual conduct was legalised in Bermuda, but with a higher age of consent for gay male sexual conduct at 18, than the age of consent of 16 for heterosexual and lesbian sexual conduct.
