Information on the situation for homosexuals
in Paraguay:
Legal
Homosexuality is not mentioned
in Paraguayan law. However, being gay may be seen as an aggravating circumstance
in a criminal case, especially if minors are involved or if the act is
deemed against public morality.
Travel to Paraguay may be
difficult if you're younger than 20 and traveling with only one parent
or a third party. You then need notarized written consent from the other
parent.
If you have any further information
