Port Louis - Post Report Question and Answers

Is this a good city for LGBT expatriates? Why or why not?

Mauritius is a very conservative country, but there is no outright antagonism towards the LGBT community and no trend towards criminalizing homosexuality. Attitudes also depend on the community: the wealthier and more well-travelled whites and Indo-Mauritians are more tolerant than the rest, from what I've seen. Homosexual PDA would draw stares and perhaps some negative comments out in the villages and towns, however. I don't know of any gay bars or social events other than the annual "Rainbow Parade" which draws a lot of onlookers, but is pulled off peacefully. - Jun 2014
