In 2020, Puerto Rico received a Gay Travel Index score of five, which is less than half of the score granted to the countries deemed safest for LGBT tourists. Two points were taken away from the score due to murders of queer people in the country. The Caribbean island was, however, able to score two points in four different categories, including transgender rights and anti-discrimination legislation. Additionally, Puerto Rico was home to ten of the 13 most followed Latin American and Caribbean drag queens featured on the hit TV show RuPaul's Drag Race.
