| - La homosexualidad en Honduras fue despenalizada en 1899. Sin embargo, el Código Penal hondureño solo fue reformado en 2013 para incluir castigos para las personas que discriminaran por orientación sexual. Si bien en Honduras existe una pequeña (pero perseguida) cultura orientada a los derechos de los homosexuales, ciertos barrios socioeconómicos más bajos han visto la persistencia de una construcción social más antigua de erotismo entre personas del mismo sexo (más o menos similar a la que existía en gran parte de Estados Unidos antes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial) en el que los hombres masculinos (jóvenes, solteros de 15 a 25 años) desempeñan el papel de penetración con "locas" (hombres mayores afeminados pero que no se visten de travestis ni necesariamente se identifican como transgénero), por lo general a cambio de algún tipo de remuneración pero ocasionalmente también por amistad y ayuda mutua. Para los hombres, estos actos no conllevan el estigma de ser vistos como homosexuales (aunque existe cierto tabú sobre la discusión abierta de tales relaciones); los hombres jóvenes se consideran completamente heterosexuales y casi siempre se casan a mediados de los veinte, limitando su actividad sexual a partir de entonces a las mujeres.

For the "hombres", these acts do not carry the stigma of being seen as "homosexual" (though some taboo exists about open discussion of such relationships); the young men consider themselves fully heterosexual and almost always marry by their mid-twenties, limiting their sexual activity thereafter to women. Shortly after the 2009 Honduran coup d'état the average yearly murders of LGBT people increased from two to 31. Prominent gay rights activist, Walter Tróchez, was murdered in December 2009 and four years later Walter's friend Germán Mendoza was charged with his murder. The number of LGBT deaths in Honduras from the year 1994 to 2018 has been 323 and only 68 of these murder cases have been prosecuted. (en)
