CARNIVAL IN BRAZIL AND THE INCLUSION OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

Carnival in Brazil, one of the largest and most iconic events in the world, has become increasingly inclusive for the LGBTQ+ community and its visitors. This shift has had a positive impact on the tourism industry, attracting millions of travelers, with a significant portion belonging to the LGBTQ+ community. Today, it is almost impossible to take a photo of Carnival without capturing LGBTQ+ couples celebrating in the streets and at parties. Just a few years ago, there wasn’t as much visibility for this community during the celebrations, but that reality has changed. Brazilian laws now have stronger protections against LGBTQ+ discrimination, strengthening an environment of acceptance and respect.

Love where you travel.
