While same-sex civil unions have been legal in the country since 2016, same-sex couples do not have the right to adopt, thanks in part to opposition from the Catholic Church. Surrogacy remains illegal in Italy and there are restrictions that prevent the adoption of “stepchildren” by one parent. Medically assisted reproduction, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), is only available to heterosexual couples.

      Uruguay 3rd vs. USA 6th

      South America best continent

      “compared to the rest of the world outside of northern europe, USA great”

      Sorry but that looks ridiculous even without mentioning that equaldex is in some places rather flawed. Do they not update the numeric ratings? It’s utterly ridiculous that the country where DESANTIS’S FLORIDA EXISTS among other things has a perfect “100” legal index, while Argentina—where gender identity has been a right for a decade—gets 3 points less for not having all the anti-discrimination statements in federal law.

      Northern Europe is actually only just getting rid of sterilization requirements for legal transition.
