Bridgetown - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for LGBT expatriates? Why or why not?
I don’t have personal experience with this, but have seen LGBT colleagues treated differently. Homosexuality is not legal here and there’s definitely a local negative vibe/opinion about being gay. - Aug 2019
Homosexuality is not legal in Barbados, but the mood seems to be changing. Most LGBT folks I know (locals and in the community) do not feel the need to hide. - May 2018
Not very good. To give you an idea, in the Caribbean there are still may places where being gay is illegal. - Mar 2013
no way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Nov 2011
It would be fine, but there are some issues. There are several LGBT members of the embassy community who seem happy and do not appear to face major issues in their daily lives. However, there is discrimination here, as with most of the Caribbean, and LGBT persons should not expect a US or EU standard of acceptance. - Dec 2010
Society is pretty conservative, there does not seem to be a large or open gay or lesbian community. But there does not seem to be outright predudice against, either. - Feb 2010
