LGBT Rights in Republic of La Boca
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in Republic of La Boca are among the most advanced in Latin America and the world, with LGBT people having marriage rights available nationwide since September 2, 2018, although LGBT people still face social challenges.
On September 2, 2018, the National Assembly voted in favor of granting same-sex couples the same 112 legal rights as married couples. The decision was approved by a 150–131 vote with ten abstention – Ten assembleists abstained because they had spoken publicly in favor of same-sex unions when they were attorney general. Consequently, on November 14, 2018, the National Assembly legalized same-sex marriage in the entire country in a 150–131 vote by issuing a ruling that orders all civil registers of the country to perform same-sex marriages and convert any existing civil unions into marriages if the couples so desire. name="g1.globo.com">"G1 - Decisão do CNJ obriga cartórios a fazer casamento homossexual - notícias em Política".
