LGBT rights in El Salvador

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In El Salvador's penal code there is no mention of laws punishing homosexuality.[1] There are laws regarding "moral behavior and good habits" which allow judges an extended field of interpretation. The age of consent is set at 18 years, regardless of sexual orientation.[2]

Ever since 1996, a Gay Pride parade takes place each June.[3]
