LGBT rights in the Americas
Laws governing lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) rights are complex in the Americas, and acceptance of LGBT persons varies widely. Same-sex marriages have been legal in Canada nationwide since 2005, in Argentina since 2010, in Brazil nationwide and Uruguay since 2013 and in the United States nationwide since 2015. In Mexico same-sex marriages are performed in Mexico City and the states of Quintana Roo, Coahuila, Chihuahua and Guerrero, and those unions are recognized nationwide. Same-sex marriages are legal in the Caribbean Netherlands, while marriages performed in the Netherlands are recognized in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. More than 600 million people live in nations or sub-national entities in the Americas where same-sex marriages are available.
Furthermore, some other nations have laws recognizing other types of same-sex unions (Colombia, Ecuador and Chile), as well as LGBT adoption and military service by LGBT people. However, eleven other nations, all of them in the former British West Indies, still have criminal punishment for buggery on their statute books. These eleven countries include Jamaica, Dominica, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Antigua & Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis & Belize.
==Religion and LGBT acceptance==
The British, French, Spanish and Portuguese colonists, who settled most of the Americas, brought Christianity from Europe. In particular, the Roman Catholic Church and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, both of which oppose legal recognition of homosexual relationships followed by Eastern Orthodox church,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Holy Synod - Encyclicals - Synodal Affirmations on Marriage, Family, Sexuality, and the Sanctity of Life )〕 the Methodist Church,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Christian Life - Christian Conduct )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=British Methodists reject blessing of same-sex relationships )〕 and some other Mainline (Protestant) denominations, such as the Reformed Church in America〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Summaries of General Synod Discussions and Actions on Homosexuality and the Rights of Homosexuals )〕 and the American Baptist Church,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=We Are American Baptists )〕 as well as Conservative Evangelical organizations and churches, such as the Evangelical Alliance. The Southern Baptist Convention.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southern Baptist Convention )〕〔(Statement on Homosexuality )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EPC )〕 Pentecostal churches such as the Assemblies of God,〔(Homosexuality )〕 as well as Restorationist churches, like Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, also take the position that homosexual sexual activity is sinful.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview With Elder Dallin H. Oaks and Elder Lance B. Wickman: "Same-Gender Attraction" )〕
However, other denominations have become more accepting of LGBT people in recent decades, including the Episcopal Church in the United States, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, the Anglican Church of Canada, the United Church of Canada, the United Church of Christ, the Unitarian Universalist Association, and the Society of Friends (Quakers), and some congregations of the Presbyterian Church (U. S. A.). Most of these denominations now perform same-sex weddings or blessings. In addition, in the United States Conservative Judaism, Reform Judaism, and Reconstructionist Judaism now welcome LGBT worshippers and perform same-sex weddings.
