These may not be anniversaries, but things to celebrate:

Earlier this year Angola decriminalized same-sex activity and banned discrimination based on sexual orientation

Now Botswana has done the same. Although there are still more than two dozen countries in sub-Saharan Africa have laws that criminalize gay sex, these are huge steps.

Bhutan’s parliament's lower house six days ago voted to repeal a  law criminalizing gay sex (needs the approval of the upper chamber, so keep your fingers crossed)

Ecuador (!) has legalized same sex marriage. Five of nine judges in Ecuador’s top court on Wednesday ruled in favor of two gay couples who sued after their request to be married was denied by the country’s civil registry.

(In the meantime:

In May, Kenya’s high court upheld the country’s ban on gay sex, so same-sex relations remain punishable by 14 years in jail.

Campaigns in some countries during parliamentary elections in the European Union in May were characterized by anti-gay rhetoric including by Poland’s Law and Justice Party and Spain’s far-right Vox party challenging acceptance of LGBT+ rights.

A couple of weeks ago the Speaker of the Hungarian parliament compared same-sex marriage and queer adoption with pedophilia and called lgbtq people second rate citizens. Here's the gem from the mouth of this idiot: "Morally there is no difference between the behavior of a pedophile and the behavior of someone who demands [same-sex marriage and gay adoption]. In both cases, the children are treated as objects, luxury goods, mere tools for gratification, for self-realization. I don’t want to have children for various reasons, but I claim the right to raise someone else’s child. A normal homosexual is aware of the order of things in the world, and knows that he was born this way, he became like this. He tries to fit into this world while he doesn’t necessarily think he is equal.”

In the United States in January, the Supreme Court lifted lower court rulings that blocked a Trump administration ban on certain transgender people from serving in the U.S. military, allowing the policy to go into effect.

Whenever there’s progress, there’s always steps backwards, it seems)

They'll be anniversaries in future years!

In addition, on May 17 Taiwan became the first country in Asia to recognize same-sex marriage, by a vote of 66-27 in its legislature.  The bill also granted same-sex couples many of the same tax, insurance, and child-custody benefits that are available to male-female couples.  

In May 2017, Taiwan’s high court ruled that barring same-sex couples from marrying violates the Taiwanese constitution and gave the legislature two years to pass a corresponding law or see same-sex marriage become legalized automatically.  But in November 2018, voters defeated a non-binding referendum in favor of recognizing same-sex unions.  The legislative act on May 17 settled the issue by complying with the high court's ruling.
