Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the Central African Republic face legal and social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female types of same-sex sexual activity are legal in the Central African Republic, but LGBT persons still face discrimination among the broader population.
The Central African Republic was one of the few African states that signed a "joint statement on ending acts of violence and related human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity[broken anchor]" at the United Nations, condemning violence and discrimination against LGBT people.
