Comunidad Homosexual Argentina (CHA)

The Comunidad Homosexual Argentina (CHA) was founded in 1984, just after Argentina returned to democracy, and is one of the oldest LGBTQ+ rights organisations in Latin America. Activist Carlos Jáuregui was its first president. The CHA campaigned for the Buenos Aires civil-union law and for the 2010 equal-marriage law that made Argentina the first Latin American country to legalise same-sex marriage. It now runs advocacy, legal advice and community programmes from its headquarters on Tomás Liberti in La Boca. For visitors it's a contact point for information and support rather than a place to drop in socially, so get in touch via the website before visiting. La Boca is best explored by day.
