Oaxaca legislative reforms for social inclusion

Overview

The Congress of the State of Oaxaca approved a reform to the Physical Culture and Sports Law to ensure non-discrimination and inclusion for the LGBTIQ+ community in state sports.

The legislative change replaces the term ‘sexual preference’ with recognized concepts such as sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual characteristics. Legislators stated the previous terminology was conceptually incorrect and could imply that identity is a voluntary choice. The reform aims to provide legal certainty and eliminate human rights barriers within the sporting sector.
