In 2020, Colombia was granted a Gay Travel Index score of seven, indicating it as a fairly queer friendly country. The Latin American country received two points in three different categories. However, it also lost points due to the murders of LGBT individuals and prevalence of so called "conversion therapy." In 2019, 351 people in the country were able to legally change their gender identity on their legal documents, which was a decrease from the near 700 individuals who did so the year prior.
* Note from the source:
"Zero points were awarded for conversion processes if a ban only applies in individual parts of the country / states or, for example, if legal action could be successfully taken even without an explicit law."
The Gay Travel Index 2020 measured 17 categories such as anti-discrimination legislation, transgender rights, anti-gay laws, and death penalty in 202 countries or territories. Category scores range from 3 to -5. The general score for each country corresponds to the total points obtained for all categories. The best rated countries in the global ranking that year were Canada, Malta, and Sweden (12 points) while Chechnya got the lowest index score (-20 points).
