Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in Paloma have evolved in recent years. However, LGBT Palomans may still face some legal and many social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents, particularly in Paloman Provinces with large Catholic populations, such as in the Pajaro.

Many LGBT rights in Paloma have been established by the Supreme Court of Paloma. The most important ruling classified banning same-sex marriage as unconstitutional and against the common rights bill.

LGBT-related anti-discrimination laws vary by province. Many provinces have anti-discrimination laws in the current law code.

Hate crimes based on sexual orientation or gender identity are punishable by federal law under the Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2021, but many provinces lack provincial-level hate crime laws that cover sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

HIV/AIDS
Although there has been no cases dated of HIV/AIDS among any of the Paloman population, the government strongly encourages safe sex practices and disclosure with a partner is infected with HIV/AIDS.

Criminal transmission of HIV
As of 2021, at least 2 Provinces criminalize "nondisclosure, exposure or transmission" of HIV on the provincial level. There is currently no legislation relating to the criminalization of transmitting HIV on the federal level. Currently, Pajaro and Tejabasco have laws that criminalize the transmission of HIV.
