Homosexuality was decriminalized in 2001 when the territory reformed its criminal law to equalize the age of consent and remove colonial-era sodomy provisions. Same-sex marriage was legalized in 2017, also granting adoption rights.

There isn't much information in the database for Ascension Islands, most likely because it is either a part of another country (i.e., a territory or possession) and therefore most international statistics are counted for the country as a whole, or, this is such an exotic place that little data exists about it.
