I am gay. Is travelling in the Carribean safe? Unsafe?

I've heard the islands are very homophobic. Additionally, two lesbian friends of mine were slayed there because they were gay (in the 90's).
What is the climate like there now?
One does not have to make an announcement nor wear a tee shirt to be identified as gay. Just dining or walking in the company of another man could be enough.

its the same, use your money to go to a more friendly place.. its not really all the nice in the carribean anyway..

Why would you go to a country and tell everyone your gay, then get hurt? Doesn't make sense. I think, it's just best to enjoy the place your at and have fun!

:]

My understanding of Jamaica comes from the seasonal farm workers who come here, and we're very friendly. They all do tell me though, to avoid Jamaica because there are those there that would kill me if they suspected I was gay. Yet none of them here have ever given me a hard time. They've always been very nice to me.

Are you planing to wear a t-shirt that states you are gay? How will they know? It's not the 90s anymore.

It is my understand that the Island of Jamaica is the one place to stay away from in the Carribean.

I would go and wave a big rainbow flag every where I went and yell hell no we won't go. From your joking friend S.M.

Still the same - as homophobic as ever ... you need to spend your money where you feel safe, and where people will welcome you.

im from the caribbean and unfortunately u are rite. jamaica is one of the most homophobic countries and the smaller countries are following their influence. i would reccomend barbados because the people there are used to gay people and they are not at all violent. what ever you do just dont go to jamaica, those people there need to wake up.

Forget the Carribean. Want to have a blast? Go to Provincetown, Massachusetts....tip of Cape Cod in the Summer. You will have a blast with both gay/bi/or straight people.
