The topic of this paper is the position of LGBTIQ individuals in the Republic of Croatia. The struggle of the LGBTIQ community began in the Middle Ages and continues to this day. LGBTIQ communities and organizations working on these issues strive to achieve equal rights and fight against the discrimination that remains constantly present in society regarding the LGBTIQ community. Through the analysis of literature and a short survey completed by four members of the LGBTIQ community, their position across various areas of life is presented. For LGBTIQ individuals, relationship with family and acceptance of their sexual orientation is important, with friends providing the most support as they accept them as they are. They often surround themselves with friends who are also part of the LGBTIQ community. LGBTIQ individuals often hide their sexual orientation from employers and colleagues at work and as a result, data shows that discrimination or violence in the workplace occurs to a lesser extent. Regarding education, negative attitudes and behavior are more prevalent in high schools than in universities and research shows that moving to a larger city positively impacts LGBTIQ individuals due to the more open-minded nature of society. In Croatia, there are various laws and documents that protect the rights of LGBTIQ individuals, as well as anti-discrimination practices that protect LGBTIQ individuals from discrimination through various protection mechanisms, such as civil society organizations, the Ombudsperson and others. Social work also plays an important role in the LGBTIQ community, as social workers advocate for equality, social justice, the inclusion of marginalized groups in society and more.
