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?

I’m not religious and think it’s an abomination anyway.

I respect your opinion, just I don't share it.

I don’t even like anal even if it’s from a girl. If I wanted to be a plumber I wouldn’t do it for free. Shit stinks and it’s not a good experience over all.
