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-confirming surgery and hormone therapy, are provided free of charge under the national health program. Intersex medical interventions on minors have been illegal since 2016.
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 Popular Assembly.
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.
Cano is the gay village and has hundreds of businesses catering to the LGBT community. Carnevàl has become a major LGBT event in recent decades and features highly elaborate costumes, performances, and themed parties.
