The history of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in Iceland differs from other Scandinavian countries due to the low visibility of LGBTQ individuals until the mid-20th century. This was because Iceland's population was much smaller than that of its Nordic counterparts and because for much of its history it was primarily an agrarian society where most people lived in rural areas.
