LGBT rights in Venezuela
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Venezuela may face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is legal in Venezuela, but same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are not eligible for the same legal protections available to opposite-sex married couples.
==Law regarding same-sex sexual activity==
Homosexuality has never been punishable since Venezuelan independence. However, under the "Vagrants and Thugs' law" (''Ley de vagos y maleantes'') (pre-criminal behavior laws as in place in Europe and Latin America during the 20th century). In Venezuela, contrary to Spain, this law did not refer expressly to homosexuals. However, it was occasionally applied to homosexuals and transgendered individuals engaged in prostitution, as well as sex workers in general as reported by amnesty International.〔http://new.pensamientopenal.com.ar/02072007/vagos.pdf〕 People submitted to this law by "administrative measures" could be placed under "re-educational programs" in special "confinement places" without trial, as has also happened in many other countries, including Spain.〔http://www.reis.cis.es/REIS/jsp/REIS.jsp?opcion=articulo&ktitulo=1876&autor=JORDI+M.+MONFERRER+TOM%C1S〕 This law was declared unconstitutional by the former Supreme Court of Justice in 1997.〔http://www.juridicas.unam.mx/publica/librev/rev/indercom/cont/27/leg/leg8.pdf, http://www.monografias.com/trabajos74/sentencia-derogada-ley-vago-maleantes/sentencia-derogada-ley-vago-maleantes.shtml〕〔http://www.zur2.com/objetivos/senvenez/vagos.html〕 The universal age of consent is equal at 16.〔http://www.ilga.org/statehomophobia/ILGA_State_Sponsored_Homophobia_2009.pdf〕
