Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) rights in Cartadania have been among some of the most advanced in the world. Although same-sex sexual activity was a capital crime that often resulted in the death penalty during the Imperial era, all sodomy laws were repealed in 1710 following the Lusos Rebellion.

Cartadania has frequently been named one of the most culturally liberal and gay-friendly countries in the world. Recent polls have indicated that a majority of the Cartadanian public support same-sex marriage and in 2015, another poll indicated that 87% of the Cartadanian population believed homosexuality should be accepted by society, the highest of the countries polled. Alahuela has been named by many publications as one of the most gay-friendly cities in the world, with Le Irisée, Bairro A Baunilha and Aibonito being said to have a thriving LGBT community and nightlife. Many of Cartadania's territories also serve as well-known tourist destinations for many members of the community.
