| Description | Since 1932, persecution of LGBTIQ+ people started to become state policy in Argentina 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. During the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983, LGBTIQ+ people faced extreme persecution with the junta harassing people for their sexual orientation or gender identity. In 1980, Cordoba would adopt its own provincial laws suppressing LGBTIQ+ expression. |
