The Dominican Republic's laws against consensual same-sex conduct by law enforcement not only violate human rights but reinforce discrimination within the police and military.
Christian González Cabrera emphasized that such state-sanctioned bigotry tarnishes the Dominican Republic's reputation and fails to align with democratic principles.
Although private same-sex conduct is not criminalized, the country’s laws against LGBT individuals in uniform highlight a significant gap in civil rights.
Critics, like the former National Police director's comments, further contribute to a culture that marginalizes LGBT individuals and denies them opportunities in law enforcement.
