| Description | In Honduras, there are no laws restricting the discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics. However, trans people face a risk of arrest under vaguely worded sections of the Law on Police and Social Affairs of 2001, enforcing police to "prevent and eliminate disturbances to tranquility, public morality, and proper conduct". Police crackdowns against "vagabonds", which are very vaguely defined, also target trans people at a disproportionate rate. |
