Sexual Orientation Laws in the World
We dedicate this post today a todas las personas que han padecido o padecen discriminación por su orientación sexual, así como aquellas que han tenido que huir de sus países o lugares de residencia por no permitirles vivir en libertad.

We recall what was proclaimed in articles 1 and 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
Article 1
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and, endowed as they are with reason and conscience, They should behave fraternally towards each other..Article 2
Everyone has the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Por otro lado, hemos observado que la Asociación Internacional de Lesbianas, Gays, Bisexuales, Trans e Intersex (ILGA) ha publicado su informe anual de ILGA (2025)..
Asimismo, pueden ver el mapamundi de leyes sobre orientación sexual de ILGA (actualizados el 10 de mayo de 2026). interactivos, para hacerlos más accesibles.
