Since October 1997 homosexual relationships are not criminalised in Kyrgyzstan.

Several provisions within the constitution, the family law and the civil code points to the definition of a marriage as being a union between a man and a woman.

On 17 March 2023, the government announced a proposal to amend the child protection law. Article 2-1 of the draft law expands the definition of information harmful to the health and development of children as follows: “[information] that denounces family and traditional societal values, promotes non-traditional sexual relations and initiates disrespect towards parents or other family members”. The bill was passed by the parliament on 22 June 2023 and signed into law by the president on 14 August 2023. Unlike Hungary's "law on the protection of children" , the law does not mention sexual orientation or homosexuality explicitly. The law also does not define "family values" and "non-traditional sexual relations".

Until 01 August 2020, trans people in Kyrgyzstan had access to legal gender recognition according to the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On acts of civil status".
On 17 June 2020, the Parliament of the Kyrgyz Republic adopted amendments to the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On acts of civil status" . The new version of the law came into effect on August 1, 2020, and starting from this date, trans people in Kyrgyzstan have no access to legal gender recognition.

In 2000, Kyrgyzstan adopted the ICD-10 classification, which contains codes for diagnosing transsexualism in adulthood and childhood, which authorize the initiation of medical transition.
