Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Macau, a special administrative region of China, face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. While same-sex sexual activity was decriminalized in 1996,[1] same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples remain ineligible for some legal rights available to opposite-sex couples.
