Same-sex activity has been legal in the country since 1962, but same-sex unions are not recognized. Bangui, the capital city, is a cultural anchor with a mix of French and Sango influences. LGBTQ+ travelers should be aware of the local laws and social norms, as the lack of recognition for same-sex unions may still present some challenges.
