The gay community, better known as LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) is a fact all around the world. This term has been used since 1990 and represent all the gay community. In Colombia, the constitution of 1991 have some laws for this group of people but the society treat them different because of their sexual orientation.
For example gay couples can not adopt a baby because is not legal, this problem has been talk for years and years but there are not a solution yet. Other example is the gay marriage that is similar to the last one. But in other hand, Colombia is on it way to the progress and there are some laws for this people, for example, gays can go to the army without problems, is not illegal to have sexual intercourse with the same sex, and the age of consent is the same as for heterosexual couples (14).
I think Colombia is progressing in this topic, the LGBT community has been recognized trough the years and know have more rights than in the past. However gay people is seen and treated different by the government and people in the cities, and we have to stop that because we all have the same rights, no matter what our sexual orientation would be.
