Colombia's Gay Travel Index by category 2020

In 2020, Colombia was granted a Gay Travel Index score of seven, indicating it as a fairly queer friendly country. The Latin American country received two points in three different categories. However, it also lost points due to the murders of LGBT individuals and prevalence of so called "conversion therapy." In 2019, 351 people in the country were able to legally change their gender identity on their legal documents, which was a decrease from the near 700 individuals who did so the year prior.

Supplementary notes

* Note from the source:
"Zero points were awarded for conversion processes if a ban only applies in individual parts of the country / states or, for example, if legal action could be successfully taken even without an explicit law."
