Queer BA: The History of the Argentine Sexual Diversity + Community

Buenos Aires Trip Overview

Argentina is one of the most progressive countries in the world when it comes to LGBTQIA+ rights: in the last two decades the country was able to pass the egalitarian marriage law, allow Queer folk to adopt and even introduced one of the most comprehensive and progressive laws for trans and gender non-conforming people.
So how did this extremely Catholic nation become a beacon of light for enhanced rights?
Join us to learn about the history and fight that led us to where we are: from the abolition of criminal homosexuality to the first non-binary birth registration. Join one of our queer guides to visit iconic landmarks, fantastic NGOs and to learn about the ongoing fight for visibility, tolerance and inclusion.
During this tour we’ll explore landmarks iconic to the fight and conquest of rights like the National Congress or the Jáuregui subway station. We will also visit an NGO.
For every tour, we donate to the NGOs fighting for visibility, inclusivity and tolerance.
