A trailblazer in progressive legislation, the country legalized same-sex marriage in 2010, becoming the first in the region to do so. Additionally, Argentina's Gender Identity Law of 2012 marked a significant milestone, allowing individuals to change their gender identity without medical or judicial approval. These legal instruments, together with other policies and practices, demonstrate Argentina's strong commitment to promoting equality and protecting the rights of the LGBTQ community.
In recent years, Argentina has continued to build on its robust legal framework, celebrating diversity and fostering inclusiveness. From anti-discrimination laws to inclusive educational policies, the nation has been focused on ensuring that LGBTQ individuals have the same rights and protections as all citizens. As the nation's legal landscape evolves, we will continue to provide updates and insights on Argentina's LGBTQ legal instruments, reflecting a vision for a more equitable and loving world.
In 2010, Argentina became the first Latin American country to legalize same-sex marriage. The Marriage Equality Law No. 26,618, amended the Civil Code to define marriage as "a union with full legal recognition between two persons without any discrimination as to their sex."
Argentina's Gender Identity Law, Law No. 26,743, was enacted in 2012, allowing individuals to legally change their gender without requiring medical diagnosis or surgery.
Law 26,862 establishes that all adults, regardless of sexual orientation or marital status, can access medical techniques and procedures to achieve pregnancy for free and equally.
