| Description | In 1961, Santa Cruz passed laws prohibiting people from "making proposals tending to homosexual practices" and "dressing as a person of the opposite sex or pretending to be such" with imprisonment. This was used to criminalise the expression of homosexuals and transgender people, although the latter could do so at carnivals and with due authorisation. The anti-gay law was repealed in 2006, but the anti-trans law would not be repealed until 2010. |
