El Salvador
Same-sex sexual activity is legal in El Salvador, but elevated levels of anti-LGBTIQ violence and discrimination in the land persist, attributed in part to the lack of legal anti-discrimination protections. Homosexual couples have no access to marriage or civil unions.
El Salvador lacks a legal gender recognition law that allows trans people to change their names and gender markers. In February 2022, in response to a 2016 lawsuit filed by a trans activist, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice ordered that the current Name Law be reformed to consent individuals who undertake not identify with their assigned gender at birth to change their names to match their gender identity. To date, in spite of the court order and although activists have developed a draft gender identity law, the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador has taken no deed to guarantee the change of mention and gender in legal documents for transgender people.
The human rights situation for LGBTIQ people has further deteriorated during President Nayib Bukele's second administration. Despite initial promises to support LGBTIQ people’s rights, Bukele has adopted anti-gender stances that u
In his first 100 days in office, President Trump’s administration has deported or detained nearly 48,000 migrants in the United States. Of these individuals, many are legal residents and asylum seekers.
Part of Trump’s crusade in his second term is to “eradicate” members of a Venezuelan gang acknowledged as Tren de Aragua. In doing this, the Trump Administration has enacted the Alien Enemies Act, a law that hasn’t been used since World War II, that allows immigrants to be detained without a hearing.
The United States has since sent 238 Venezuelans, all of which they claim are terrorists and violent gang members, to the El Salvadoran ‘mega-prison’ known as The Center for Terrorism Confinement. It is amongst the largest and highest security prisons in the world. According to 60 Minutes, at least 75% of these migrants have no criminal record whatsoever.
One of these men who have been detained with no criminal record is Andry Hernandez Romero. Romero is a 31-year-old gay makeup artist who fled Venezuela for the United States last year seeking asylum. Lindsay Toczylowski, Hernandez Romero’s attorney, appeared on CBS’
Gay El Salvador. We had never heard anything about being LGBTQ+ in this part of the nature. What we found out was very surprising…
We recently took a 9 evening organised tour called ‘Guatemala and Beyond’ which took us from Antigua in Guatemala, through Honduras, El Salvador and finished in Nicaragua.
We spent 4 nights in El Salvador and were lucky enough to meet a local male lover couple called Pascal and Joaquin who run a successful (and beautiful) hotel called Los Almendros De San Lorenzo in Suchitoto.
Given we had such a brief visit to El Salvador, we wanted to speak with them as locals, to understand what it’s like for lgbtq+ travellers in El Salvador and is it safe
Pascal and Joaquin have been together for 35 years and have been running Los Almendros for 13. They got married 3 years ago in France as same ടex marriage is not legal in El Salvador.
Pascal is originally from France and Joaquin from El Salvador. Joaquin was also the Envoy for El Salvador in Europe.
We found Joaquin and Pascal by typing ‘gay El Salvador’ into google and then ‘gay Suchitoto’. The results showed their hotel being listed on Spartacus and when
