LGBT rights in the Republic of the Congo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the Republic of the Congo face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female expressions of homosexuality are legal in the Republic of the Congo, but same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples, with reports of discrimination and abuses towards LGBT people.
Not to be confused with LGBT rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
