LGBT rights in Latvia : ウィキペディア英語版 | LGBT rights in Latvia
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Latvia may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity are legal in Latvia, but households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex couples. The democratization process in Latvia has allowed lesbians and gays to establish organizations and infrastructural elements such as bars, clubs, stores, libraries, etc. Cultural, educational and other events can be held, and lifestyles can be freely developed. However, society has not reached a high level of tolerance. In November 2014 the foreign minister Edgars Rinkēvičs publicly came out via Twitter.〔(Gay rights in eastern Europe just took a big step forward ), The Washington Post, 6 November 2014, accessed 9 November 2014〕 ==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity== In 1992, soon after Latvia regained independence from the Soviet Union, homosexuality was decriminalised.〔ILGA-Europe, (country page for Latvia ) (accessed 13 May 2007).〕 The age of consent is 16 regardless of gender and/or sexuality.〔(National Laws - Legislation of INTERPOL member states on sexual offences against children - Latvia - Lettonie - Letonia )〕
