With an open vocation to the region and the world, Uruguay had, since the beginning of the 20th century, advanced social legislation in the recognition of labor and social rights. Today this legislation is completed with the enactment of laws on antidiscrimination, change of registered sex, common-law union, adoption and equal marriage, in order to better protect human rights and build a city that is more inclusive and respectful of diversity. .

Montevideo offers a wide cultural and recreational offer for the LGBT + community and is considered the most gay-friendly city in Latin America. It is a city that defends diversity from any type of hatred.
