LGBT rights in Puerto Rico have slowly begun to develop within recent years. Public discussion and debate about sexual orientation and gender identity issues have increased, and some legal changes have been made. However, public opposition still exists due, in large part, to the strong influence of the Catholic Church and socially conservative Protestants.
Between the 1990s and 2008, various LGBT community groups arose, as there was more public discussion about sexual orientation, gender identity, human rights and the AIDS-HIV pandemic. Today, there are numerous Puerto Rican LGBT rights organizations and nightclubs. (From Wikipedia)
