It is one of the countries with truly liberal policies that consider gender equality. Proof of this is that same sex marriages is currently permitted by the law, originating the same rights for the spouse as a heterosexual couple.

Colombia belongs to the LGBT community

Our country is characterized by progressive thinking and an open attitude to new thoughts and trends. Studies reveal that 6.8% of the population in Colombia belongs to the LGBT community, so if you visit this destination, you will surely be able to interact with a large percentage of locals.


But why is this position a common trend in our country? It has been established that the liberal character of our culture has brought great benefits with it, and this is reflected in the national economy. It is good to know that Colombia has his own LGBT Chamber of Commerce and in 2016 this institution announced that people belonging to the community contributed $24.6 billion to the national economy, boosting sectors such as tourism, health, personal care and entertainment.

From the institutional point of view
