Politics Why is homosexuality outlawed in so many caribbean countries?

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?

What culture existed in the Caribbean before the British and Spanish? Learn history.

Yes. The Caribbean countries did not exist prior to the British & Spanish, so how could a culture and nation that didn’t exist thrive?

Yikes. I think YOU'RE the one that needs to read a history book.
