Gay people need to aware of local custons, laws and attitudes before they fly to another country and need to remember that will be under the local state or provincial and federal rules. laws, regulations and ordinances of that country or those countries and that they can’t just waltz into someone else’s land and culture and casually expect to conduct or comport themselves the very same way as they can back in the USA.

Do the gay thing in the wrong place and you might not arrive back in the USA in one piece. Jamaica is not the right place for battybwoy or chi chi man to go. extremely dangerous country for gay people. Why would gay people would risk themselves by going to an Islamic country be it in Europe, Asia or Africa is beyond me. Carribean is very homophobic. Africa see homosexuality as “an imported Western social disease” in violation of its cultures and traditions. Only in South Africa (crime ridden in some areas) can gays get married in all of Africa.
Thailand is one of the very few Asian countries where being gay is no big deal.
In parts of even Europe best to keep being gay hidden.

In so much of Latin America being gay is not very well received.

Best read up very, very carefully about where you want to go and talk to as many people as you can whom you know been there or want to go that country and talk to locals from that country who live ine USA if possible to get a sense of how they view their country and what kind of conditions back home might have caused them to leave their native countries and if they view their countries as places they have a desire to return home to.
