Share of Latin American and Caribbean countries supporting LGBTQ+ rights 2020
As of December 2020, registering and operating a sexual-orientation related civil society organization was possible in 33 Latin American and Caribbean countries, while the freedom of expression on sexual orientation issues was guaranteed in 97 percent of these countries. Those issues were the two most widespread forms of LGBTQ+ friendliness in the region. On the contrary, child adoption by same-sex couples, for example, was only possible in 15 percent of the countries. The first Latin American and Caribbean country to allow homosexual relations was Haiti.
