Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights


The Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Rights is a Swedish organization working for LGBT rights.
It was founded in 1950, which makes it one of the oldest LGBT rights organizations in the world. As of 2018, it had about 7,000 members and has 36 regional offices spread over the country.
RFSL was a major lobbyist for gender-neutral marriage, a goal that was reached in April 2009 after 50 years of working with that specific issue.
In July 2007, RFSL received official NGO status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
