Description | In Mendoza, there are no laws restricting the discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics since the removal of Article 80 in 2006, which criminalised people from "dressing and passing themselves off as a person of the opposite sex" in daily life. However, Article 54 remained in force until 2018, stating that women or homosexuals who "exhibit, incite, offer or make provocative signs or gestures to third parties in a public place, open or exposed to the public, for the purpose of engaging in prostitution" would be arrested for 10 to 30 days and receive fines of up to 1,500,000 pesos. No such law was in place for heterosexual men. |
