Argentina

Argentina was the first country in Latin America to legalise same-sex marriage (2010) and has one of the most progressive LGBTQI+ legal frameworks in the world. The 2021 Gender Identity Law is particularly advanced, allowing self-identified gender marker changes without medical requirements — a global benchmark.

Buenos Aires has a vibrant, internationally recognised LGBTQI+ scene. Social attitudes in the capital and major cities are generally accepting, though more conservative views exist in rural areas and smaller provinces. Argentina remains one of the top LGBTQI+ travel destinations in South America.
