SGLE GAY MAN BARBADOS - BARBADOS FOM

The difficulty for many is that homosexualy is effectively illegal here acrdg to the 1992 Sexual Offenc legislatn. There is no anti-discrimatn law as gay people were specifilly exclud om anti-discrimatn legislatn the past, so is perfectly legal to ask people not to show affectn public a bar and the bar is wh s rights to ask people to leave on that basis. Given that homosexualy is illegal, is difficult to pass legislatn barrg people om discrimatg agast those that the state says are law breakers!

Unls you legalise homosexualy, of urse. This suatn has more impact on lols who often nnot obta work if they intify as gay.

In practice, though, Barbados has almost never been really anti-gay a way that affects visors, and the law and associated penalti are not ed. My wife is a lawyer and this is her take, as she has had to al wh s volvg people who were sacked bee they are gay - "bee gay visors meet no hostily, the more gay people we wele, the better gets and the more opens thgs up for a change the law that benefs lols".

Gay mal, and no one batted an eye lid. The most gay-iendly Caribbean islands are the U. Posssns, most notably Puerto Ri, which is hailed as the "gay pal of the Caribbean" and offers gay gutho, nightclubs, bars, and diss.

In Barbados, homosexualy is illegal, and there is often a lack of tolerance spe of the large number of gay rints and visors on the island. Jamai is the most homophobic island the Caribbean, wh harsh antigay laws, even though there is a large lol gay populatn. In Antigua gay men are lled "anti man" dialect.

Alas the ernment here is NOT lookg to get rid of the 1992 Sexual Offenc Act which, 26 years after pennce, add more rtrictns on gay men, and which is the only legislatn which mak all homosexual behavur illegal (there is a misnceptn that only refers to certa acts but this is rrect - you simply have to read the legislatn).

My wife is a lawyer and has lobbied on this matter bee the legal stat of gays ever creasg human rights issu for lol gay men and has ed many to be effectively forced to leave the untry to be able to fd work or simply survive/have a reer. Many on here remember someone a few months back who me to stay Barbados ( was two straight guys actually) wrg that they were abed by lol guys who assumed they were gay and had ston thrown at their apartment by a group of young men.
