| Description | In 1932, Colonel Luis J. Garcia introduced a new clause in Article 2 of the Police Edicts of Buenos Aires City, which criminalised "exhibiting oneself on public roads or in public places dressed or disguised with clothes of the opposite sex". That same year, persecution of LGBTIQ+ people started to become state policy as police edicts were issued that imprisoned homosexuals if they were travelling with a minor. This was often justified not as a persecution of homosexuality but as "protecting" minors across the country. This would further strengthen in the 1940s under Juan Peron into even more widespread discrimination by the government. |
