Most LGBTQ+ travelers would think that most, if not all, the Caribbean islands would be welcoming to our society because of its proximity to queer-friendly Mexico. However, some islands are not, and some are slowly making gradual policy changes.

That means an LGBTQ-friendly island where we can be ourselves without stress of discrimination. These 11 destinations have deserved reputations for being the most LGBTQ friendly Caribbean islands.
Of course, I&#;ll also be sharing with you the islands that are decidedly NOT LGBTQ friendly.
If you want to stop by one of the anti-LGBTQ islands, go ahead – just know before you go, so an disinterested reception doesn&#;t come as a nasty surprise!
I recognize I&#;d rather go to an accepting and welcoming island I can relax than choose one where I&#;m too afraid of being clocked as homosexual and harassed to abandon the all-inclusive I booked to feel safe.
