<p>Bagama't ang Dominican Republic ay maaaring hindi sentro ng kultura ng LGBTQ sa Caribbean, mayroon itong umuusbong na eksena sa bakla, na pangunahing nakakonsentra sa mga urban na lugar tulad ng Santo Domingo. Ipinagmamalaki ng Malecon sa Santo Domingo ang mga lugar tulad ng Club Arena na nagpapanatili sa iyong pagsasayaw sa ilang oras. Ang Conde, sa Colonial Zone ng Santo Domingo, ay isang lugar kung saan maaari kang makatagpo ng mga hayagang kakaibang indibidwal, bagaman hindi nananatiling malakas ang tradisyunal na kultura ng machismo. Huwag palampasin ang mga kaganapan sa Draguéalo, pagdiriwang ng drag, vogue, pagpapahayag ng sarili, at pagkakaiba-iba sa buong bansa. Ang parada ng pagmamalaki ay ginaganap taun-taon sa Santo Domingo tuwing Hulyo.</p>
<h2>Mga LGBTQ-Friendly na Resort</h2>
<p class="gt-block gt-block"><br>Nag-aalok ang Dominican Republic ng hanay ng mga LGBTQ-friendly na accommodation. Sa Punta Cana, makakahanap ka ng iba pang resort, na ang ilan ay partikular na gay-friendly. Ang mga all-inclusive na resort na ito ay tumutugon sa mga turista sa North American na naghahanap ng nakakarelaks na bakasyon na may kasamang mga amenity. Marami sa mga resort na ito ay nagho-host din ng mga poolside party at mga espesyal na kaganapan upang hindi malilimutan ang iyong paglagi.</p>

Eksena ng LGBTQ

<p>Para sa mga LGBTQ na manlalakbay, dalawang pangunahing lugar sa Dominican Republic ang namumukod-tangi:</p>
<h2>Santo Domingo</h2>
<p>Ang Santo Domingo, ang kabisera ng lungsod, ay isa sa mga pinakalumang lungsod sa Caribbean. I-explore ang makasaysayang Zona Colonial na may mga gusaling itinayo noong 1500s, kabilang ang unang katedral na itinayo sa "New World." Bisitahin ang Alcázar de Colón at museo, na siyang tirahan ng isang miyembro ng pamilya ni Christopher Columbus. Nag-aalok din ang Santo Domingo ng makulay na nightlife scene sa Conde nightlife strip.</p>
<h2>Punta Cana</h2>
<p>Ang Punta Cana ay isang paraiso ng resort na may maraming hotel at resort na tumutustos sa mga turista. Mag-enjoy sa water sports, snorkeling, swimming, at scuba diving, o mag-relax lang sa isang resort hotel na may poolside party at mga espesyal na event.</p>
<h2>Nightlife sa Libangan</h2>
<p>Ipinagmamalaki ng Santo Domingo ang isang makulay na nightlife, lalo na sa kahabaan ng Conde nightlife strip sa Colonial Zone. Sa Punta Cana, habang maaaring walang mataong gay nightlife scene, maraming resort hotel ang nagho-host ng mga espesyal na party at event. Ang Coco Bongo Caribbean bar and club, na sikat sa nightlife nito sa Cancun at Playa del Carmen, ay may lokasyong malapit sa Punta Cana, na nag-aalok ng mga gabi-gabing party.</p>

Dapat Bisitahin

<p>Kahit na ang Dominican Republic ay isang sikat na destinasyon ng turista, mahalagang manatiling maingat, lalo na sa labas ng mga pangunahing lugar ng turista. Bagama't karamihan sa mga hotel ay LGBTQ-friendly, mag-ehersisyo ang pag-aalaga at gumamit ng mga lugar na maliwanag kapag naglalakbay kasama ang isang kapareha. Ang bansa ay may isang "turistang pulis" na nagbibigay ng proteksyon ng mga dayuhan, na nag-aalok ng mas tumutugon na kaysa sa pambansang pulisya.</p>
<p>Ang Dominican Republic ay isang makulay na destinasyon na tumatanggap ng mga LGBTQ na manlalakbay. Damhin ang pagkakaiba-iba, kultura, at natural na kagandahan ng kaakit-akit na bansang ito habang tinatangkilik ang LGBTQ-friendly na mga hotspot at isang mainit at nakakaengganyang kapaligiran.</p>

On 26 September, the President of the Cuban National Electoral Council confirmed that the referendum had passed with 66.87% of the vote. They also confirmed the result is valid and binding. The law will come into effect upon formal confirmation, expected 30 September.

According to ILGA official data as of October 2023, the gender marker on identity documents can only be changed if the applicant has undergone gender affirmation surgery. The petitioner must submit their request for a change of gender marker before the Civil Section of the Local Court. Next, the request is submitted to the National Commission for Comprehensive Attention to Trans People, together with the medical certification that the petitioner has undergone surgery. The following evidence must be accredited before the court: (1) the summary of the clinical records, (2) the descriptive medical criteria of the surgery with emphasis on its irreversibility, (3) a document confirming the intervention signed by the CENESEX, and (4) photographic records from before and after the intervention. <br />

Private, non-commercial sexual relations between same-sex consenting adults 16 and over have been legal in Cuba since 1979. Prior to 1979, a provision in the Social Defense code  labeled "homosexual practices" as a "social threat". This prior code did not technically criminalize homosexuality but left LGBT folks in a state of limbo as they were de-facto prosecuted and some even sent to labor camps in post-revolutionary Cuba.

Consensual sexual activity between individuals of the same sex.

The shaping of Cuban law is one of U.S and Spanish influence. Products of it's time as a colony and subsequent military intervention, the Civil Defense Code in 1936 ommitted previous provisions that criminalized homosexuality remanants from Cuba's colonized ruins. This did not mean LGBT Cubans did not face persecution though. Despite no laws that expressely criminalized private same-sex sexual relations, LGBT Cubans were still targeted, leaving the status of same-sex relations in a state of limbo until it's re-clarification in 1979.

Prior to the Spanish colonization of Cuba, no laws governed Cuban soil. History of indigenous Tainos may have shown some limited tolerance of "two-spirt" or gender diverse individuals akin to LGBT folks in modern day society, but these links are too thin to draw. The near non-existent archival of Taino culture does not help. In 1521, Cuba was incorporated into New Spain and with it governed from the Viceroyalty based in Mexico City. Cuba was recognized as a province of the Spanish empire, which granted it the same rights as any other province in Peninsular Spain, bearing the brunt of colonial anti-sodomy laws in place at the time.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity when applying for housing or discrimination by landlords / property owners.

Medical interventions performed on intersex infants to alter their genital appearance to conform to typical male or female standards, often without the informed consent of the child who is too young to participate in the decision-making process.

On 25 September, Cuba held a referendum on the development of a new family code that includes provisions that would legalise same-sex marriage and same-sex adoption.  On 26 September, the President of the Cuban National Electoral Council confirmed that the referendum had passed with 66.87% of the vote.  They also confirmed the result is valid and binding.  The law will come into effect upon formal confirmation, expected 30 September. 

Marriage and marriage recognition between two people of the same biological sex and/or gender identity.

The Cuban Constitution does not ban same sex marriage, but other statutory laws do prohibit it. Article 2 of the Family Code defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman - an amendment drafted in 2018 would have changed this but was rejected. Further consultation on changes to the Family Code are ongoing in 2022.

Since 2016, serving openly in the military has been legalized. 

The ability for homosexuals to serve in the military and be open about their sexuality.

Legal recognition of non-binary, genderqueer, or third gender identities.
