In 2020, Brazil was granted a Gay Travel Index score of negative one, which gave it a ranking of 49 on a scale from one to 202 of the safest to the most dangerous countries for LGBT tourism. The South American country scored two points in two different categories, including marriage / civil partnership and allowed adoptions. However, it also lost two points in the categories of transgender rights and murders. Between 2018 and 2019, at least 130 trans and gender-diverse people were murdered in Brazil. This was over half of the total victim amount in Latin America, making this country the deadliest for trans and gender-diverse people in the region.
* 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).
