| Description | Same sex marriage is not legal in Haiti, and upon announcement of plans to lobby for the right in 2013, advocates were met with a stream of religious backlash. In 2017, the Haitian Senate approved a bill that would've banned same-sex marriage with fines and up to 3 years in prison, but it never became law. |
