LGBT rights in Puerto Rico

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) persons in Puerto Rico have the same protections and rights as heterosexual individuals. Public discussion and debate about sexual orientation and gender identity issues has increased, and some legal changes have been made. Supporters and opponents of legislation protecting the rights of LGBT persons can be found in both of the major political parties. Public opposition still exists due, in large part, to the strong influence of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as socially conservative Protestants. Puerto Rico's status as a United States commonwealth has a great influence over legal rights of LGBT citizens.
==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity==
In 2002, the Puerto Rico Supreme Court ruled that the commonwealth's ban on sodomy was not unconstitutional.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Puerto Rico's Sodomy Law Just "Tip of the Iceberg" )〕 The next year, the U.S. Supreme Court declared unconstitutional all state and territorial statutes penalizing consensual sodomy, when limited to non-commercial acts between consenting adults in private. The case, ''Lawrence v. Texas'' invalidate the law in Puerto Rico as well. Puerto Rico modified its Penal Code in 2004 to remove private, non-commercial sexual activity between consenting adults from its sodomy statute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2004 Penal Code of Puerto Rico )
