Gay Rights in Cambodia

Gay CambodiaHomosexuality is legal in Cambodia. At present there is no provisions on age of consent in the Criminal law.

In February 2004, the issue of gay rights in Cambodia was discussed by then King-Father Norodom Sihanouk. King Sihanouk wrote on his web site he was impressed by marriage of same-sex partners in San Francisco, and that if his people wished for gay marriage to be legalized in Cambodia, he would do so.

2004 was also the year when the first LGBT Pride Parade was held in the country.

King Sihanouk also stated that he believed that God views homosexuals, as well as transvestites, as equal because "[God loves] wide range of tastes". However, as this view is not widely accepted in Cambodia and King Sihanouk was a constitutional monarch and had no executive powers, no marriage laws have been enacted.
