In March 2018, the Latvian Parliament dismissed a petition for introduction of partnership legislation which would recognise all unmarried couples, including same-sex couples. This is the second time the Saeima rejected such an initiative.

Members of the LGBTI Intergroup write to the Members of the Government of Latvia, and the Speaker of the Saeima to express their disconcertment, and enquire about what Latvia will do in the future to give the protection and recognition that all families deserve in Latvia, including same-sex couples.
