Azerbaijan gay

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in Azerbaijan face significant challenges not experienced by non- LGBTQ residents. Same-sex sexual activity has been legal in Azerbaijan since 1 September [2].

LGBT rights in Azerbaijan are limited, posing concerns for both local members of the community and potential LGBTQ+ tourists. The lack of legal protections for transgender individuals poses a significant challenge, as there is no legislation for legal gender change on official documents.
