LGBT rights in Montecara are well-respected and protected in law. Sexual orientation and gender identity are protected in the Montecaran constitution, and the Montecaran government has consistently promoted the protection of LGBT rights at the international level.

LGBT health services, including gender-affirming surgery and hormone therapy, are provided free of charge under the national health program, as is pre-exposure prophylaxis for the prevention of HIV infection. Intersex medical interventions and conversion therapy on minors have been illegal since 2016.

Montecarans can change their legal gender by signing a legal attestation; there is no requirement for a specific diagnosis, surgery, or other therapy or treatment. The standard means of identification, the Ùnivers card, does not record sex or gender, and a non-binary gender option, recorded as "X", is available on official documents where a gender field is required.

There is a uniform age of consent of 15 years. Sex work is legal without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity.

LGBT rights have strong support among the general population. A 2019 poll showed that 88% of Montecarans thought that LGBT people should have the same rights as heterosexual and cisgendered people. LGBT politicians serve openly at the highest levels of government, including in the Senate and College of State.

Montecara is a popular destination for LGBT tourism and is a frequent port of call for LGBT-themed cruises. The Euclean Community has stated that Montecara is a safe destination for LGBT travelers, and the LGBT Safe Travel Index lists Montecara as the second-safest destination for LGBT tourism in the world after Caldia.

Càno is the gay village and has hundreds of businesses catering to the LGBT community along with an adjacent beach. Carnevàl has become a major LGBT event in recent decades and features highly elaborate costumes, performances, and themed parties.
