| Description | In October 2023, the Amazonas Legislative Assembly passed Law 6469 which prohibited children from participating in Pride Parades, with a penalty of a fine. This is despite the 2020 Supreme Court ruling that censorship of LGBTIQ+ issues in schools was unconstitutional. On October 17, 2024, the Amazonas Legislative Assembly enacted Law 7.127, containing a clause prohibiting the portrayal of homosexuality in children's media. The law would later be amended to remove the mention in December 2025. |
