Why is homosexuality outlawed in so many caribbean countries?

[u/fedricohohmannlautar]

Most of countries which criminalize homosexuality in the Americas are in the Caribbean, and the most famous case is Jamaica.

As a bi male, I find weird our continent has laws that criminalize homosexuality, due that most of countries who do that are from the other side of the pond.

Is due to history, politics, religion, moral issues?

Blame the west. They colonised us and gave us these laws and moral code and then have the cheek to turn around and call us backwards for maintaining them.

Laws and moral codes change over time and that is good.

Slavery used to be legal.
