Current Version

RegionBuenos Aires
IssueCensorship of LGBT issues
StatusState-enforced
Start Date1932
End DateJun 10, 1973
DescriptionSince 1932, 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.

In 1973, Buenos Aires would later criminalise transgender people and crossdressers.
