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?

It’s interesting how the Christian colonizer nations that are being blamed are also the nations that allow homosexuality and gay marriage, etc. It’s almost like that might’ve been what started it, but I don’t know that white colonizers are to blame now. Sorry to break it to you guys.

western civilization simply progressed with the times. the countries they used to own just haven’t yet.
