<p>Même si la République dominicaine n'est peut-être pas l'épicentre de la culture LGBTQ dans les Caraïbes, elle possède une scène gay en plein essor, principalement concentrée dans les zones urbaines comme Saint-Domingue. Le Malecon de Saint-Domingue abrite des salles comme le Club Arena qui vous feront danser pendant des heures. Le Condé, dans la zone coloniale de Saint-Domingue, est un endroit où vous pouvez rencontrer des individus ouvertement homosexuels, même si la culture traditionnelle du machisme reste forte. Ne dépasse pas les événements Draguéalo, célébrant le drag, la mode, l'expression de soi et la diversité à travers le pays. Un défilé de la fierté a lieu chaque année à Saint-Domingue en juillet.</p>
<h2>Complexes hôteliers LGBTQ-friendly</h2>
<p class="gt-block gt-block"><br>La République Dominicaine propose une gamme d'hébergements LGBTQ-friendly. À Punta Cana, vous trouverez une variété de complexes hôteliers, dont certains sont spécifiquement gay-friendly. Ces complexes hôteliers tout compris s'adressent aux touristes nord-américains à la recherche de vacances reposantes avec des commodités incluses. Beaucoup de ces complexes organisent également des fêtes au bord de la piscine et des événements spéciaux pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable.</p>

Scène LGBTQ

<p>Pour les voyageurs LGBTQ, deux endroits principaux en République Dominicaine se démarquent :</p>
<h2>Santo Domingo</h2>
<p>Saint-Domingue, la capitale, est l'une des plus anciennes villes des Caraïbes. Explorez la Zona Colonial historique avec des bâtiments datant des années 1500, dont la première cathédrale construite dans le « Nouveau Monde ». Visitez l'Alcázar de Colón et le musée, qui était la résidence d'un membre de la famille de Christophe Colomb. Saint-Domingue offre également une vie nocturne animée dans la zone nocturne de Condé.</p>
<h2>Punta Cana</h2>
<p>Punta Cana est un paradis de villégiature avec de nombreux hôtels et centres de villégiature destinés aux touristes. Profitez des sports nautiques, de la plongée en apnée, de la natation et de la plongée sous-marine, ou détendez-vous simplement dans un hôtel de villégiature avec des fêtes au bord de la piscine et des événements spéciaux.</p>
<h2>Vie nocturne et divertissement</h2>
<p>Saint-Domingue possède une vie nocturne animée, en particulier le long de la zone nocturne de Condé, dans la zone coloniale. À Punta Cana, même s'il n'y a pas de vie nocturne gay animée, de nombreux hôtels de villégiature organisent des fêtes et des événements spéciaux. Le bar et club Coco Bongo Caribbean, célèbre pour sa vie nocturne à Cancun et à Playa del Carmen, est situé près de Punta Cana et propose des soirées nocturnes.</p>

Visite essentielle

<p>Bien que la République Dominicaine soit une destination touristique prise, il est essentiel de rester prudent, notamment en dehors des principales zones touristiques. Bien que la plupart des hôtels soient favorables aux LGBTQ, faites preuve de prudence et utilisez des zones bien éclairées lorsque vous voyagez avec un partenaire. Le pays dispose d'une « police du tourisme » dédiée à la protection des étrangers, offrant un service plus réactif que la police nationale.</p>
<p>La République Dominicaine est une destination dynamique qui accueille les voyageurs LGBTQ. Découvrez la diversité, la culture et la beauté naturelle de ce pays enchanteur tout en profitant de points chauds LGBTQ et d'une atmosphère chaleureuse et accueillante.</p>

Conseils de sécurité en voyage

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.  Article 30 and 31 allow for same-sex adoption and explicitly grant the right to couples using forms of assisted reproductive technology.  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.

The ability for same-sex couples to legally adopt a child.

No restrictions. No laws in place for same sex couples. Legalization pending.

The Age of Consent is currently legal in Cuba.

The difference between legal age of consent for homosexual sex and heterosexual sex.

Donating blood a is legal with no deferral after sex.

The ability for MSMs (men who have sex with men) to donate blood or tissue for organ transplants. A deferral period refers to a waiting time before a man can donate after having sex.

In Cuba, there are no laws restricting the discussion or promotion of LGBTQ+ topics. Law No.54 guarantees the constitutional right to freedom of association. It is worth nothing that in 2019, a pride parade was held in open defiance of the government's views referring to it as "subversive". 3 activists were arrested. HRW has noted concerns on freedom of expression in Cuba which could potentially affect LGBT rights activists.

Censorship or prohibition of discussing, promoting, or teaching LGBTQ+ topics in media, schools, and in the general public.

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 />
<br />
Gender affirming surgery and hormonal treatment are provided and covered by the national health system since 2008 (Resolution No. 126).<br />
<br />
Since 2022, transgender people can change their name through self-determination. Instruction #1 of 2022 of the Ministry of Justice repealed Instruction #1 of 2012 that made the name change for trans people subject to a change of sex, following genital adjustment surgery.

Legal recognition of sex reassignment by permitting a change of legal gender on an individual's birth certificate.

According to ilga.org. Conversion therapy ban pending.

Legal status of conducting sexual orientation changing therapy ("ex-gay" therapy)

Constitutional protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity have been instituted.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

Prohibition of discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity in employment, including hiring, promotion, termination, harassment, etc.

Gender-affirming care is legal and provided for since 2008 by the government per Ministry of Public Health Resolution No. 126.

Medical and psychological support designed to help individuals transition to the gender they identify with, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and surgeries.

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.

Prior to Spanish colonization, Pre-colonial Taino society may have had limited tolerance and recognition of gender diverse individuals who modern society would consider akin to LGBT folk. Despite this, the literature on these pre-Columbian societies is non-existent. If any recognition of gender-diverse marriage existed, it may have been through spouses in polygynous households.<br />


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.
