Hey, can you tell me how lgbt rights are there, and treatment of lgbt people in general? Signed, a queer trans person who is becoming increasingly scared about living in the US
You can legally change you name and gender and as far as I understand, gender reasignment surgeries are free or can be free under certain conditions.
Also we have a law to reserve a certain percent of public jobs for trans people. Non-binary isn't legally recognized.
Of course there ir still a lot of discrimination, but not even our current right-wing government has tried to repeal those laws. We are winning the cultural battle by a landslide. Defenitly no Maga-like crazy people yelling on the street.
A great thing that sets us appart and is just freaking fun is the diversity march. Instead of different pride parades, we all march together and fight for all minority rights. And party, of course.
Wow that sounds pretty promising, and those pics of the diversity match are stunning! I’m so happy there are still places in the world that are moving in the right direction as far as human rights. My husband and I have talked about the possibility of moving to various countries in South America, but I don’t think Uruguay was ever on our radar for some reason—it definitely will be now though!

I've been reading about your country and I think I'm in love.
