LGBTQ rights in Abkhazia
Abkhazia
Legal statusNot protected

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Abkhazia are not legally protected from discrimination and face social challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. According to a 2018 report by the US-based Freedom House organization, Abkhazia is a socially conservative society and social taboos exist against LGBTQ individuals.

As a de jure part of Georgia, same-sex marriage, adoptions by same-sex couples, gender-affirming care, and media depictions of LGBTQ people are de jure banned in Abkhazia, as with the rest of Georgia's internationally recognized territory.
